There You Are

Two of my favorite responses to last week's question: "I am here. Where are you?"


Kriste Peoples from Boulder, Co:

Where I'm at: the hardware store looking for bear and mountain lion repellent. A girl's gotta be prepared!

Mark Menjivar from San Antonio, TX.

From a project called, "wish I were here". In 2010 I started an arts and advocacy project in San Antonio, TX working with youth experiencing homelessness. As youth would come through my office I would give them a photography book and post-it notes and invite them to add a note if they wanted. Their comments were often the start of profound conversation. I used Richard Renaldi's book, Figure and Ground, the most. When the project came to a close in 2011, we decided to send the book to Richard as a way to say thank you.
