Blackboard Confessions

I've started a new blog called "Blackboard Confessions".  I will send updates through this blog, which will occur weekly (usually on Sundays).  This blog will still be about my photo shoots and my thoughts about the industry in general, but I've been wanting to do this other blog for some time.

The idea came from my time as a teacher at a vocational school called The Career Center in Arlington, Virginia.  Each students was asked to write their thoughts on the blackboard - purely on a volunteer basis. What transpired was truly amazing.  Their insight into themselves and how they relate to their surrounds and others was very inspirational.  The subject matter was open to their discretion - they could say and write what ever they chose.  This gave them the freedom to say what was on their mind and be acknowledged for their thoughts and ideas.  I think you will be surprised in what they have written.

Through the blackboard confessions blog I give you the chance to say what you want as well.  There is a blank blackboard you can download, write on and then email to me.  I will post it on the site (with your permission of course).

What's on your mind?  What would you write?
Would it be a confession?  A poem?  Commentary on today’s news?  Admiration for someone you love?  Or passing along wisdom to those who might read what you've written?

Share you thoughts...
