I decided to visit the old Copernicus (name has recently been changed) elementary school on 60th and Throop. I used to live down the street from it. It was the first day of school for Chicago public schools students. I wanted to capture the happiness of the children returning from their summer break. I came across a man with his son. I approached him and asked could I take a picture of them; he nodded his head yes and continued walking his son into the schoolyard. I highlighted the GREEN in the back pack because it stood out to me. Green is a color that is associated with prosperity and growth. This was significant especially due to the fact that the father was taking his son to school. School is a place in which students learn, grow, and gather tools that they will need to be prosperous in various aspects of their lives.
