My First Cover!!!

I just got back from the New Hampshire Council on the Arts report "Measuring Up: The NH Arts Education Data Project." The report was distributed to legislators and educators from around the state and region.  Well known children's book author/illustrator, Tomie dePaola was the guest speaker.

Well any how...the cover of the report has three NH students on it.  Two of the photos were taken by.....me!  Catherine O'Brian, The Director of NH Arts Education, said she had three of my photos on the cover but someone said that wasn't politically wise, so one was replaced.  The Director did say that the girl twirling will be the the symbol for arts education in NH for the next year...she loved the photo.  My photos are the two bottom corner photos.  It's kinda neat having a cover to my name.  Of course I wouldn't be on the cover if it wasn't for the great kids of Henniker (NH) Community School and their Artist-in-Residence program.  I have taken photos and video of the activities of the program for three years and have had a wonderful time doing it. 


If you look at this link you will see the two photos on the left are mine...one is the boy with the flute...he was the one taken off the cover. http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e3fzpsu0c7e876af&llr=g5vgzlbab
