Spring has landed in Chicago. It happened rather suddenly for me as I was out of town this past weekend, which is precisely when it arrived. Now it's here, and with it the energy that we've been missing all winter.
I received word on Sunday night that I've been accepted into Voluntarios de la Esperanza, a volunteer organization that serves youth in Santiago, Chile. I responded immediately, accepting my acceptance. And so it begins.

- I am interested in how photography and visual representation can challenge social and political inequalities, particularly in the Americas. A recent graduate from NYU's Master's program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, I focused on social practices of vernacular photography in Peru as well as the Quechua language. In 2006-07, I worked with VEGlobal, an organization in Santiago de Chile of volunteers that develops educational programs for Chilean youth living in shelters. Along with volunteer Lindy Drew, I developed OJOSnuevos (newEYES), a digital photography program for teenage women. This blog serves as a place of informal reflections on issues of representation, and a place where I can discuss works in progress.
