The "Project"

On the easel is a 24x30 of the project. After a memorial service this summer, while the adults were talking and grieving, the kids were busy outside. When asked what they were doing they cheerfully replied "the project". Using wonderful kid imaginations they had gathered rocks, sticks, dirt, branches, banana peels, and assorted objects and built a sculpture on the sidewalk. Leave it to kids to demonstrate how life goes on. I snapped a photo on my cell phone and remembered it this week. It was a good "project" for me too. What are you up to?

Thanks for the memory by Janice Filkins

I do not know the man in the photo. The photo was taken while I was attending school in Manhattan. One of my fellow students and I wandered the streets with our cameras during lunch breaks, looking for that magical moment to capture on film. (Yes we used film in those days). Anyway, I came across this picture today and I remembered the minute I shared with him. He saw the camera in my hand and said," take my picture girly". I think I replied something like, "I am looking for something memorable to shoot". He immediately took the cigerette from his mouth and put it in his ear. Many years later, I look at this photo and realize how "memorable" it is. All those small everyday interactions with each other that enrich our lives. Anyway thanks for reading!
