My first selection was from a story about families who have a child with autism. When I went to photograph Victoria and her son, Nathan, assignment in hand to photograph them just interacting as family members (as well as other family members if they were around), I didn't know what activities they would be engaging in. In a short hour, Nathan played outside, read a book, played with toys including a dinosaur and a train set, but kept coming back to his favorite the bubbles.
In this moment, he and his mom bond over the bubbles:
The second photo of the week was taken to go alongside a story of San Benito school districts working together to standardize math learning targets across the grades. I needed to find children using math visually, not just reading books, but counting money or something similar.
I was hoping to find something that would show that math can be fun at the younger grades, and I shot this among others.
I like the dichotomy of Maria looking so serious while she counts out her place holder cubes, while just a few desks away kids are picking out their squares with smiles on their faces.
