For Education Week: Introverted Students

120517Introverts051 For Education Week: Introverted Students

(Note: I photographed this back in May, 2012)

Most of my Education Week work a bit “inside baseball” — which makes it inherently interesting. Education Week is the newspaper of record for public schools, grade K-12 in the United States. Their audience is smart and specific. Stories about policy and programs are the norms. Common Core is a big topic these days, as I’m sure No Child Left Behind was back in the day. But this Education Week story about Introverts transcends policy and programs. It’s about learning styles. And all of us who have gone through school understands there’s a ton of shortcomings and compromises involved in getting an education.

I think this quote sums up the “big picture issue” when trying to teach introverted students… (more…)

Jonathan Brice for Education Week

Jonathan Brice, officer of school support networks, Baltimore Public Schools, is instrumental in moving away from the Baltimore City Public School System’s zero-tolerance policies. He developed new conduct codes, and created the Success Academy, a suspension school/alternative learning environment, which is in the basement of the district’s headquarters in the Dr. Alice G. Pinderhughes Administration Building, where I made these portraits.

The image above I absolutely love, but I figured it’d never (more…)

I got to hang out at a library all day, AND IT WAS AWESOME!!! The Goucher College Athenaeum is more than just a library, it’s designed to be a social hub for the students at the small liberal arts college nestled right off I-695 in Towson, Maryland. First of all, this place is gorgeous! …a friggin’ (more…)

Ravens Win! Baltimore Goes Crazy

130203 Ravens Super Bowl Celebration Baltimore 200 Ravens Win! Baltimore Goes Crazy

The Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl. …and then Baltimore went friggin’ nuts! A cabby stopped in the middle of the street, blared Gangnam Style and, of course, a dance party broke out in the middle of the street. The city’s patience for things that should piss people off was turned upside down. For example, I couldn’t stop laughing when a (more…)

Go Ravens!

Michael Rubenstein invokes the power of Ray Lewis. …in a Dunkin Donuts in Carol County, Md., Saturday, October 06, 2012

Go Ravens! …is a phrase I never thought I’d utter when I lived in Atlanta. Not that I’d be yelling Go Falcons, either. I’ve never been a football fan. Baseball all the way, baby!  In fact I really hated football when I was at that young, obtuse, preteen age. But working at Patuxent for 6 years helped — no no no — MADE me understand the game better. But in my first year here, I was already falling in love with (more…)

We all know a hipster when we see one, right? But, unlike “hippies,” or “beatniks,” or “punks,” not too too many people claim the status. It’s kinda like calling someone a “yuppie.” It’s a soft derogatory term.

Well, last week I was asked by the lovely Beth Bristow, NYTs Style section photo editor, to make some photos of (more…)

Republican National Convention: Scenes from the Concourse

Lets be honest, The Republican National Convention is an example of political theater at its finest. — which I think is hilarious! Not because it’s politics or Republicans, or the fact that all the delegates from Texas dressed in matching cowboy hats and shirts. I think it’s hilarious because it’s sooooo grandiose! The gigantic monitors, for example, were thetrans Republican National Convention: Scenes from the Concourse  (more…)
