I appreciate that the children get to take pictures of anything they want. I like the fact that Nick is involved with the children's lives; however, when he is trying to connect with William it is sad. William know's his life hard and I believe he know Nick knows his struggles. The comment on page 134 where William says " What is this, some kind of school today?" This was the snap that caught my attention, I believe William uses his photography as an escape of his reality and for Nick trying to connect with him in a schooling manner made him upset because school also is another stupid reality to him and why should school interfere with his art.
This reminded me of James at Hope Shalom last Friday, while he was doing his project with Conner and Eric he mentioned at low voice that this was like another hour of school. I did not know if this comment was a good one or a negative one, but it made me think a lot on what else we can do to break the traditional boundaries of school projects in art.
