Our House e-newsletter August & September 2013 | Page 23

When one of our summer VISTAs told me about Nicole‟s interest in photography and in my work, I invited Nicole to spend a morning with me. She got to see that there‟s more to being a photographer than taking pictures. I showed Nicole what I do and how I do it. We talked about what she can do in the next six years to prepare for the possibility of studying photography in college. Later Nicole joined a few of my coworkers and me in a meeting about a new page we‟re adding to the Our House website. Nicole and I finished by looking at some of the photos she had taken this summer. Nicole gave me permission to publish some of her photos on these pages.
