A couple weeks ago, I volunteered my time to photograph some babies in the NICU at one of the local hospitals.  It just amazed me how much personality shines through these little guys, hooked up to machines and all.  Some don't want to be bothered and want to sleep, barely opening their eyes.  Others are so alert and can't take their eyes off of you.  I worked on this project with our local March of Dimes chapter and they were able to use some images for a project of their own.  November is Prematurity Awareness Month.  Please check out the site and sign the petition.

Here are some images they sent me of their display





And here are some images from the shoot

I'm back after crazy couple of weeks out of town.  Unbelievably, I'm feeling refreshed after all that running around, large, in part to spending the tail end of my month at Jesh de Rox's wonderful workshop in NYC.  I want to spend some time on here telling you all about it, but I'm still gathering my thoughts.  In the meantime, here is one of our homework assignments from the week.  Here is my self portrait.  This was a challenge for me for several reasons, but I'm happy I pushed myself out of my comfort zone.  I'd love to know what you all think!
