  • BAYAC/OASES AmeriCorps

    A brief life update from me: I just accepted a position in Oakland Chinatown as a BAYAC AmeriCorps member with OASES, and I’ll be working with the QUEST After School Program. Not enough acronyms?

    So much of our relationships depends upon context. I’m reminded of  that moment in grade school when I first saw a teacher at the mall and was stunned to realize teachers went shopping just like normal people. Or this year, when we (as teachers) brought our 8th graders into the woods for a 3-day camping trip and we got…

    I did a really fun test shoot today with young aspiring actress Stephanie Isidro. I know it may look very iPod-ad-esque, but it’ll actually be on an article for Mochi’s blog titled “The Anti-iPod.” I just think her hair looks awesome!
