I’ve always really loved Martin Luther King Jr.; I guess I just see him as the original deeply christian equal rights leader figure, the first to really speak for the idea that God is love and fire should not be fought with fire, but with more love.
When I was little I would check out every book about him from the elementary school library in succession just to start again at the beginning of the cycle. There was one book that was particularly my favourite, but when I was in third grade it was removed from the library after someone found the derogatory, obscene words some kid had scribbled on the back cover page. When I saw what someone had written about MLK there between check outs, I just crossed it out, but with pencil of course because we were always told never to write in a book with anything un-erasable.
I worry about Spaulding. He just sits there day after day . . . thinking what? I don't know. Occasionally a chicken will hang out with him, or a horse or deer wanders past and still . . . he interacts with no one.

What I ment with all my back-pack babbling yesterday was that I'll give you some sort of review once my traveling/testing is over, not sure how I'm gonna do it, but properly as a video in some way.
Here is a photo from beautiful Japan. I'd been driving up the west cost of the main island, and just as the sun was setting I came by this beach. I decided to make a stop even though it didn't seem as the most exiting place to make photos, but it was that or not nothing. And as it turn out, because this guy was sitting there looking at the sunset, it turned out quiet well.

The first volunteer amongst my friends & family for my homework assignment, my good friend Amy. She came over and patiently helped me get the lighting and pose to work to get the image I was looking for. This was also my first time deliberately incorporating a breeze into a photo, and I can say that it works well but is an added challenge on the set!
Obviously this was originally shot in color, and her copies will be in color. However, for my assignment I'm going with a B&W theme, so this is what I've posted here.

I love to kepp a few fresh flowers in the house during the winter to remind me there is more to the world thn a blanket of white.
Cold here this morning, -25C, windchill -37C but no windchill advisory today. Hey it could be worse, up in Yellowknife NWT it's -43C!
I keep thinking this was morning when I took it because it keeps me thinking it has so much pent up energy ready to wake up in productivity but this was taken at dusk.
35 students from each of the Perspectives campuses gathered at the Perspectives Auburn Gresham campus on 8131 S. May St., on October 2, to engage in an all day “I Am for Peace Design Thinking” workshop to answer the following question: "If you were the mayor of Chicago, how would you use the 26 principles of A Disciplined life to create a more peaceful Chicago?"
The end goal was to select five teams to share their design prototype at the “I Am for Peace” world premiere on October 24th. For more information about the premiere and to purchase tickets, visit www.pcsedu.org/peacepremiere.
The design challenge was facilitated by Perspectives teachers. They helped the students work through the phases of design thinking: 1) Define; 2) Explore; 3) Reflect; 4) Imagine; 5) Play; and 6) Transform, to come up with solutions to the question reference above.
The students were divided into seven teams of five. Together they developed one idea and prepared it for a final presentation. To help them think about their ideas on reducing and ending violence in Chicago, the students met with a panel of community leaders dedicated to keeping Chicago safe, including Father Phelger, John Horan, Anton Seals, Cedric Whittaker, and Diana Chaney. Each panelist discussed their work to make Chicago a more peaceful city and answered questions from the students ranging from topics of the cost of keeping Chicago safe to addressing mental health issues.
From this initial workshop, five teams were selected to develop their design prototype even further and to prepare it for a final presentation at the world premiere of the “I Am for Peace” documentary film.
