Daily Dose of Art -- February 7, 2011


On August 23, 2010, my outreach team and I ventured over to the Atlantic coast of Panama from Panama City to the city of Colon.  We were planning on simply walking around the streets, taking pictures of the city and mingling with those who were willing to talk with us.  However, right before we began to explore, I asked a single child if I could take her picture.  She was in the park with us along with approximately 100 of her classmates, all dressed in their yellow uniforms.  Upon seeing me take her picture, an uproar began and almost instantly every child wanted their picture taken and wanted to be a part of the fun.  It was so neat to see about a thirty minute shoot between the kids and my team arise from one simple question.  Some friends and I ended up hanging out with the kids and teachers a little longer and had a chance to talk with them about their city and school.  What a fantastic day.

Critiques, opinions, likes, dislikes.  Leave them all!  I appreciate feedback.
