The Tower
I know I've already included a picture similar to this one but as I was sitting on Congress Parkway getting ready to maneuver through the craziness of downtown I found the black silhouette-like building combined with the lights so beautiful I had to capture it.
Recently, I was teaching my first graders about how we can communicate our personal experiences through art. We read the story Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold. In the story the main character is daydreaming while her family and neighbors are having a cook-out on the top of their apartment complex. She dreams that she can fly and will fly over different landmarks to make them her own. She flys over the George Washington Bridge and pretends it's a sparkling necklace and then flys over the ice cream factory to ensure that her family will have ice cream every night for dessert. I almost feel like that's what I'm doing with these pictures in a way. Only instead of making them all my own, I can share them with the world.
