01. Process photo: That’s me with Photo 3 kids doing a blueprint demo. We do a cyanotype project from digital negatives, then we expose outside in bright sun. 02. Screenshot printout: My son and I go to Fenway every year. He once sent me this photo of us there on his exact birthday: May 2 at 10:36 a.m. 03. Notes: I keep all the notes former students leave me. 04. Dark picture: One of my advisees took this in Photo 1. He wasn’t a great

photographer, but he worked really hard and did a fabulous book presentation, so he ended up doing well because he was so engaged. We still joke about this picture, and his photo skills. 05. The schedule: Very important to keep track of. 06. “Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most!”: So true! 07. Paper scrap with mathematical equations: A student did this math to mount a diptych. It was too beautiful to throw out.

08. Black-and-white print: My good friend Annie showed up unexpectedly on a student’s contact sheets. It was such a surprise. Now we have her niece Eliza in common, and I get to hear what she’s up to. 09. Talking photo: Having lunch with an advisee on a gorgeous spring day. Who knows what we were talking about? Photography probably. 10. Admissions viewbook page: Two of my former advisees are on here. We still stay in touch.
11. Fenway Park print: I did this as a demo in a books class: how to make Xerox transfers. I grew to love baseball keeping the scorebooks for all my son’s teams, from third grade all the way through American Legion in college. 12. Drawing of boxes: Sometimes my son had to come to school with me. We’d play this dots and boxes game, or he’d hang out and draw. 13. Sayings on tea-bag tags: We drink a lot of tea in here!
