I've been working on a project with colleagues that is so very exciting on several levels. It's a dynamic literacy project bringing performance poetry to urban youth. This week and next are the slams. I am endless blown away by the powerful voices of these teens and the creativity and poise they demostrate in their performances. They are truly a complete joy to witness and great fun to photograph.

We're also working on a documentary of the project, following the kids and teachers from the classroom through to the national Brave New Voices Slam in San Diego this summer. I am very much enjoying doing the still photography associated with the project. This is David, the filmmaker.
