ehem...

I wouldn't typically recommend going to the Woodshed in Anchorage. In fact, I don't think I am right now. BUT The Moon Knights are back in Anchorage and they happen to be playing a show there this weekend. I've gone out to see them two weekends in a row at Bernies and it has been a good time. :)

And for you twitter junkies.

THE MOON KNIGHTS

Our heroes

Two of my new teen reporters at work interviewed a bunch of kids at their school, Polaris K-12, about who their heros are for our show this weekend. It is kind of silly, might make you laugh a little.

Alaska photographer and friend Brian Adams posted a few shots he got on his way home the other day. Lucky guy to catch these snowmen in such a nice light. Check out his blog for more of his work!

The Old Believers

Two kids from Kenai, Alaska, Nelson Kempf and Keeley Boyle, make up The Old Believers, a duo that is getting some attention from Portland, their new homebase. NPR did a lil write up.

Some illustrations.

PAOLA ZAKIMII came across this illustrator, Paola Zakimi, from Villa Giardino, Argentina. I really like the mix media stuff. There is some innocence in these that I want to be part of. If the etsy shop weren't down for maintenance, I would be pulling out my credit card right now.

A freelance photographer out of Brooklyn, Color Me Katie posted some photos she took after putting a heart-shaped, homemade filter over her camera lens. I'm inspired!

Thank you Neil for the link.

Thembi's AIDS Diary

One of my students recently moved to South Africa for a while and in hope of inspiring him and other youth in the teen media program, I went searching for good audio from Africa. I found Thembi Ngubane.

THEMBI NGUBANE


South Africa has the largest number of people with HIV/AIDS in the world, Thembi is one of them. For more than a year, she carried a recorder and shares an account of her struggle with AIDS. She is so strong in her willingness to share her story.
