In 2006, I was introduced to the poignant words of Dewitt Jones, a noted photographer. Recently I was perusing my journal and wandered into this:
How do you capture an extraordinary vision?
- Train your technique.
- Put yourself in the place of most potential.
- Be open to possibilities.
- Focus the vision by celebrating what’s right with the situation.
It’s been a long day and I my tank is on “E”, so I’ll leave you to ponder Dewitt’s words. I’ll circle back around, though; I can’t help but wonder how these beautiful words relate to the work my utterly brilliant students and I have been doing around personalized learning. Stay tuned…

What a beautiful visual capturing an extraordinary vision.
I keep a video from Dewitt Jones in my YouTube file. The gist is that when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. I keep that quote above my desk to remind me that when I have a positive attitude, things look a lot more positive. Thanks for the inspiration. Blogs don’t have to be long to be great.
Nice connection between photography and your students, all with such beautiful words.
