What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all About???

New Mexico "Bridges to Understanding" workshop!

Wow, it's been forever since I've blogged, mostly due to being super busy doing fun stuff at my new job! Here are some pics from a digital storytelling workshop we did with a group of high schoolers in the Chama Valley in northern New Mexico...

Here is Camille, a gregarious senior in high school who wants to be a dental hygenist and major in Spanish and Chinese! She's standing on this cliff near a local lake which used to be much higher before a recent drought.

Here is Michael, a professional photographer, mentoring Joseph, the son of a rancher who wants to have his own ranch someday. When we made the multi-media piece, he narrated a section on the choices people who want to ranch have. He said there is not much money in it these days, especially due to a drought, so he's going to move away for a while to make money, then come back and buy up some land.












Here's the ranch where we stayed - it's called Ghost Ranch and it's where Georgia O'Keefe spent time painting!
Here's the view from the top of "Chimney Rock" near the ranch! | posted by Cheryl, 5/14/2006 11:27:00 AM
