Welcome to the Up from the UnderStory project blog! Make yourself at home. Click on posts. Share your comments.
What is an understory? The understory is the part of the forest that grows under the tree canopy. It's a shady area made up of a mixture of plants which usually need more light to leaf out and grow.
And that's what our project is about. Shining a light on how a diverse group of rural residents in the forested Sierra foothills of California are creating new paths toward community revitalization.
This blog is about community, collaboration, and change. It's a space to bring together a network of people who are interested in the community renewal efforts of the Blue Mountain towns of West Point, Wilseyville, Glencoe, and Railroad Flat in
A group of Blue Mountain area youth are using cameras and computers to share their perspectives and showcase local change efforts. We invite you to view their work, give feedback, and share your own stories of community change.

how fun!
How great that you feel this shot shows you as you are! And photography is a great way to try and get people to see what you are like, because you can decide how to frame what you show folks!
I think you do a good job conveying the idea that you are a thinker by framing yourself so that you (and your head) take up most of the image. And your eyes look up and away and your fingers support your head, giving you a philosophical mood and feel (like the famous Rodin sculpture "the thinker" ...is that what you were aiming for?). The light behind your head and the stuff hanging on the wall in front of your nose is a bit distracting...what might you have done to get rid of these or place yourself somewhere (location) that helps convey "thinker"?
