The first assignment was greyscale and basic. Learning about sharpening images from the camera and from Photoshop. I'll put more pics up in color and of things I really liked that came in sets of three's fairly soon.

The above pic is my favorite. It's of the Berwick PA's old Jaycee's building, this little blue structure sitting in a huge yard, all sad and abandoned.

Creative Growth is a space in which those with mental or physical disabilities can go be artists.  They do instruction, gallery promotion, and allow those with stifled voices express themselves. The studio has been open since the 1970s and has had art featured in traveling exhibitions and museums worldwide.

This is one more thing a progressive society needs. Creative people doing things to better their society beyond throwing money at it.
