Another fortnight

Here is another update of work from the last two weeks. Well, two or three may be older than that, but I still want to share them.

This kid had the most amazing emotions during his reading/writing tutoring session in DeKalb, Ill. This was how he reacted when he correctly wrote the letter “G.”

    All great shots but for the corn portrait, did you just stand on your tiptoes where a normal sized person would have needed a ladder to be that high? Get it. You’re tall.

    Didn’t stand on anything. I’m huge.

    Plus the corn was only half grown. Plus the softball player was shorter then me. Just like you.

    I think the most important thing in that first shot is the semi-empty juicebox.
    Juicebox + Kids = Wide eyes

    Yeah they totally sweeten the deal when they give the kids a juice box and a snack before having them practice writing and reading.
