It's the end of an era, marked by the Art Camp's art show just yesterday. Teaching has been such a rewarding experience, enhanced by the ability to speak to parents yesterday and watch them enjoy the fruits of their children's labor in the darkroom and in the lab.

My photo class' work was on display proudly next to the "Discoveries in Art" and "Potter's Wheel" camps. I was impressed with the range of ability and the variety of work throughout the entire camp.

After the end of the art show, I came upstairs to retrieve my belongings, and found this note on my white board:

My response? Thank you to my students for being so wonderful and so eager. You were all wonderful. Wonderful enough, even, to pose for my camera!

Goodbye, summer camp. I will miss you! I had a blast.
