Today is Day Thirteen of
Thirty Days of Photography II.
Today's photo topic: PLEASURE
After retiring as a campus principal, I became an adjunct faculty member at a large university in Texas. Let's call it Lyndon B. Johnson State University. Of course, there is no university by that name, but it seems that I am in the witness protection program. You see, there are all sorts of ridiculous rules concerning educators and blogs, Facebook and other social networks. So Lyndon B. Johnson State University it is. I supervise student teachers. My job is to help them become successful teachers in the real world classroom.
These unidentified students are all student teachers from LBJ State University. They represent half of my group that I supervise this semester. Each one of my students this semester is ridiculously talented!
I textured this black and white photo with the texture of canvas. That is what they are right now...blank canvases. They are all capable of creating masterpieces with their talents and skills. How they paint their individual canvases will be a marvel for me to watch.
It has indeed been a pleasure to contribute to that process.
(When I asked permission to post this photo to my blog, I warned them that my language was not always appropriate. They then "assumed the position" above. They make me smile.)

I love the texture on this - but their expressions and gestures are hilarous :)
Interesting take on the theme today. The witness protection program, eh? I wondered.
"That is what they are right now...blank canvases. They are all capable of creating masterpieces with their talents and skills. How they paint their individual canvases will be a marvel for me to watch."
I love that!
And I love this picture!
Fantastic.
You are incredibly fortunate that you love what you do, love your students, and they so very obviously love you right back. They're adorable.
This is such a lovely blog post, Malisa, it's both profound and inspiring. And that photo, their expressions are absolutely priceless!
I love this -especially the reference to "blank canvas." My daughter wants to be a teacher and is just starting her college search. I hope her teachers are as caring!
That's a great photo, Malisa. I love their expressions -- they all look so happy, probably because they get to spend time with you and you've set them on fire with passion for their work.
What's up with the keys with the dude on the left? :)
Holy COW. What you wrote about blank canvases. Unbelievable!
