I am about to return from Thanksgiving break/my sister’s engagement party. After two weeks away and after spending time in Michigan, Pittsburgh and Virginia, I am ready to make the drive back up north and start work with a fresh mind.
During this break I have felt so fortunate to be a Lewis Hine Fellow. I have had to answer to the question “what are you doing” at least a dozen times and every time I am reminded of how excited I am to be at Roca and just how many ideas are still floating in my head. I have probably come up with a dozen different answers.
I have been thinking a lot about the little steps that I need to take when I get back to work on Monday. Rather than only focusing on teaching photography classes, I would like to start some small projects working with one person at a time. I think that teaching classes at Roca will be very fulfilling eventually but may always be difficult to orchestrate. At Roca it seems half of the struggle is to make sure the young people show up when they are expected. I think that if I can work on some audio/photography projects with a few of the people I have come to know, I will have projects to work on that will not require as many meetings/supplies and will feel less frustrated and more proactive.
