I've not posted anything for a long time, there's been too much going on!
Here's a suitably contemplative shot from a trip to Portugal last month.
i'm glad i've got my little mirrors back up in my bedroom. they look cute. and they break up the vast orange wall. i love that wall. but it looks better with the mirrors on it. as they were always intended to be. 6 mirrors. the other 2 are still sat on the shelf over the radiator. i've gotten used to them being there. they can stay a while longer until i think of a better use for them.
Just experimenting with the instagram app on my iPhone. If anyone wants to search for me on Instagram, I'm jcowboyjp there.
Hello, is there anybody in there?
Today Shutter Sisters posted a challenge on self reflection.
Okay, so I took the challenge. Why not? I was 5 minutes late for an appointment. Not a minute more! I even called to say I would be five minutes late. When I arrived, the glass door was locked up tight. I knocked on the glass. No answer.
Well, what else was I going to do???
After I got my pic, I knocked a little more loudly...
It made me think of the song by Pink Floyd that starts out like the first line of this caption.
A weird shot, but an interesting challenge.
No post-processing was done except for some brightness adjustments. I used reflections to get this picture.
Perspectives Charter Schools conducted a Chicago Ideas Week Lab introducing the schools’ A Disciplined Life® (ADL) education model to the general public, and teaching them how to apply social emotional learning (SEL) in their own lives.
Students led up to 50 participants in an ADL class on Thursday, October 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Perspectives Rodney D. Joslin campus, 1930 S. Archer Ave. Participants engaged in rigorous discussion and self-reflection like Perspectives students do every day.
A Disciplined Life is a toolbox that teaches students how to be their best selves, cultivate healthy relationships, make informed decisions and become ethical, conscientious leaders. The curriculum was developed by Perspectives’ founders Diana Shulla-Cose, president of Perspectives, and Kim Day, the chief education officer.
“People will come away with a better understanding of social emotional learning and what students in inner-city schools are capable of,” said Rhonda Hopps, Perspectives’ chief executive officer. “We will inspire them to practice the 26 principles of A Disciplined Life to raise their level of fulfillment and civic engagement to drive positive social change.”
For one week, October 13-19, Chicago Ideas Week brings together some of the world’s most outstanding thinkers, inventors, leaders and creators to present their ideas and inspire the innovations of tomorrow. It is a platform based on sharing big ideas and making big things happen. Perspectives students make no small plans. Last June, student leaders organized a peace march down State Street on the South Side to express their hopes for a violence-free summer. More than 2,000 Perspectives students were joined by business and civic leaders, and the event was covered by some 30 media outlets.
Chicago Ideas Week Labs give people a chance to explore the best of Chicago, through exclusive access, behind-the-scenes experiences that give them a glimpse of the inner workings of businesses and institutions that are otherwise unavailable to the public.
Hopps, Shulla-Cose and Day will be in attendance during the lab.
Founded in 1997 by two public school teachers, Perspectives Charter Schools is a network of five open-enrollment public schools on the South Side, serving nearly 2,200 students. Perspectives prepares students for college and for life with its A Disciplined Life® education model that combines academic rigor with a focus on character development. Despite coming from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago, Perspectives students graduate from high school, enroll in college, and persist towards graduation at rates above the national average.

Hanging out with my dear friends Adam and Kyllikki in Ithaca, NY at the famous Pastimes antiques shop.
Wish I didn't have such an odd expression on my face - but the rest of the photo is so cool!
my first thought while I was taking this photo was: "What I'm gonna do if someone open the door and slam it on my camera?" ...
