One of my favorite parts about working with teens is their fearless expression. The consequence doesn't seem as real to a kid. As adults we we're quick to register that second thought. I try not to teach with much censorship. I let the students be themselves. I do try to instill an idea of professionalism. I ask them to consider their audience, and environment. We have a phrase in my classrooms, "Keep it classy.". While they learn professionalism, they are also given opportunity to speak for themselves. I love the days when we are all working together in the studio setting, creating, and having those heavy conversations about life. The art slowly starts to find a voice through each student's work when they are allowed their freedom. This next show has a lot of unique stories to tell through their visuals. Come check it out this Thursday from 5:30-7:30 at @calsurf_88.

I'm feeling myself today. It's not even summer yet but it sure feels like it lately! I pulled out all my summer clothes and started packing away my winter ones but last night I regretted putting away my scarves with how chilly the nights have been. Oops! Oh well! Guys, please be respectful to people as they don their more revealing warm weather clothes. It's all right to tell someone they look great but whistling, cat calling and yelling at women from across the street or from the car is super disrespectful. Just because they are showing off their legs or whatever is not an invitation to badger them, force them to accept your number, follow them or anything else like that. #keepitclassy 📷@misterladybug 💃@joeydarkepdx . #artnude #artisticnude #artnudemodel #passionista #outdoorboudoir #outdoorportraits #oregonmodel #naturegoddess #portlandmodels #portlandmodel #joeydarke #glamourshots #impliednude (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAxaquhIal/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dys7ktnx2hw2

RIP to the trees and boulders in this section that were vandalized. It was very disheartening to see a place of worship for so many to be slandered in this way. For me it is akin to vandalizing a synagogue, mosque, or church. If you can’t respect nature, I don’t think you deserve to be in it. •
