My pride and joy.
It's no secret to those who know me that Duke is my pride and joy. Today we went to see the school he will be attending next year. Duke is really looking forward to being a fifth grader and commuting on his own (of course this scares the hell out of me).

I took this from a cab on my way to Nao's house, while talking on the phone with Nao :-) Not much to see, but I still liked the shot.

I signed up to go to a work retreat in White Plains. I missed the coach bus the school rented, so I had to catch the Metro North. It was a nice ride even though the day was kinda gray.

This has been an exhausting week. I got home really late last night after the poetry show, and had to deal with the hassle of losing my cellphone and everyone's number with it. Today helped chaperon a third grade class to the UniverSoul Circus. It was an interesting experience, we had a lot of fun. I managed to snap a few shots without flash even though taking photos wasn't allowed inside the tent..

April is National Poetry month and my school celebrated it by having an awesome poetry slam. The show was a success! Students, staff members and even parents participated by reciting original poems. Everyone had a blast! and it was even featured in bronx 12

In this picture the poets are waiting to be awakened or "rise, poets, rise!" as Brown said it :-)

I had to take teacher portraits for my school's yearbook today. I am not, or pretend to be, a studio photographer, but I think it's not half bad, considering I had to construct my own background from fadeless paper and a classroom flag. I also had no special lighting equipment or assistant :-)
