I choose this photo because of its somewhat forshadowing effect it has on my life in high school. In grade school through early high school my dad would always try to get me into running, but I always chose other sports like soccer and basketball. I finally tried out running in my junior year of high school, and it bas become my favorite sport. More importantly running has been a significant point of bonding for me and my dad.

Why this picture? There is nothing significant in the picture itself – what matters is to the left of the frame and closer than the underside of the building. 3 days after I take this picture, sitting in the same spot, looking at the same hillside while dressing in apron, hairnet, gloves & protective armwear (after a meal) I am exhausted. It is darker than this, cold. We are about to enter the “freezer” to slice salmon fillets for the next 3-4 hours. I look up, to my left and there is a girl looking at me. I know she is Ukranian, would find out later that her name is Anastasia, 3rd year university student in Molecular Physics traveling around the US for the summer. At that moment I do not know her name, only that I have been trying to work on the same line as her for the past two shifts. She approaches me.
She asks me to tie her apron for her, quickly turns around. We work together during that shift, and the next day again, and again the next day…

Change- This girl is no longer obsessed with traffic cones. She no longer lives with her mom, or any member of her immediate family, nor does she live in the Pacific Northwest. Where she lives she probably does not have a yard. Her mom does not have as many opportunities to take photos of her.
