Portrait of a Day
10/5/2009

I started this week with absolutely no images in the queue. I mean, I'm starting from scratch. So, today, I took a little more than 300 photographs. It's a numbers game, as I admitted recently. Some of them are good. Then, there's this one of (from right) my niece Amanda, Grace--who's claiming to be her sibling--(today's yearbook photo was supposedly of sibs and legacies,) and Will. If Will has siblings, I'm guessing their names are Moe and Larry. 



The point about starting with no images is that the twenty-something I'm posting here were all shot within a few hours. Because of their quantity, they comprise what empiricists might call a random sample of a day. I certainly think they qualify. I stumbled on Josh Norris enjoying a kind of calculus tutorial with Connor on the Smartboard:




Across the hall, Susan Rochon uses similar technology in algebra 2:






In an early morning English class, Sarah Will huddles with a crowd that doesn't need to worry about saving energy:

 

Alan has an A.P. Environmental Science class in the field, identifying aquatic species from Proctor Pond. 





The yield from a few scoops of muck is great.

 




Will gets in close.

 
Now, this is an image that captures Proctor! It's not just that Spencer is working a machine drill in the shop; it's that he fabricated the entire tool bit--himself--to accurately center pieces for work.....

 
In the chapel, the chorus prepares with vocal exercises:

 
The class day is over, and we're off to afternoon activities and sports.  Tony, who is a masterful field hockey player from Germany, is an injured varsity soccer player here in the States. So, why not have him demonstrate advanced stick-handling techniques to the field hockey team?

 
Proctor mountain biking rocks! Here, they set off for an ascent of Ragged Mountain:

 
Random-orbit sanders are fascinating, but this woodshop class is too early for Luc.
Will's all focus at the planer.
Down in the metal shop, Tripp uses a caliper to measure the size of threads on a manufactured steel bolt.
Geometry, I believe...
Kade is becoming a serious student.
Andrew checkls out a problem with George.
Harry excels at Super Cubes...or something like that (help me; I'll correct this text...)
As a class project, Cayleigh teaches the imparfait.
Siblings!
Will finds a snake as a gift to his cycling coach.....
