I took this pic last summer on a fishing trip on the St Croix river in Wisconsin. I confess, I was just a bystander…but it was FUN!

I love working with kids on photo projects. They are SO candid and utterly uninhibited. Poor teachers…I leave a trail of chaos behind me. Today I visited a small Catholic school in the neighborhood. The kids are working on a special project to support Fresh Grounds, a non-profit coffee-house and social venture that is a great place to hang out and is also a job training site for at-risk youth.
Here are a couple of my favs (oh, by the way- the Archdiocese is closing this school..too much money dontcha’ know. Of course they have lots of dollars for other battles, but I won’t sully the post with politics.) If anyone HAS a million to donate- that is what it will take to keep the school open, and these kindergarteners won’t be scattered about.

It is warm enough to have the porch open, with a bit of heat. The boys are making good use of the Coleman sleeping bag. (Product placement!!)

Mark was- is- my big brother. This photo was taken at North Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate NY in 1956.
Mark died of cancer in 1996.
I LOVE my brother. Even when he delighted in torture-teasing me. I think of him every day :).
His son David has his Dad’s eyes- and his sense of humor. I LOVE my nephew too..
David, now 30, lives and works in LA. I took this picture of him. Isn’t he gorgeous?!

I wanted to revisit “illumination” by sharing a photograph I took of Sister Kathleen Spencer and Toua, a former colleague. Sister Kathleen is active in social justice and community action work in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.

Abandon Seen from across the waters of the frozen Mississippi…the old plant lingers, a lonely beacon. Forgotten by most, sheltering some.
