Portrait of a Photographer: Wendy Ewald
Teaching children to express themselves through photographic images.

Photographs by children the world over, of their lives, of their families, of their sometimes-painful dreams. They're from a 30-year project in art and education by Wendy Ewald. The exhibition, called "Secret Games," was organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art in Massachusetts, and is now at Washington's Corcoran Gallery. A mix of her own photos and those of children she's taught, Ewald calls it "Collaborative Works With Children," an idea that began when she herself was just 18, starting out as a photographer.

Here is my cousin, Miry, with her skulls and the fruit for the Day of the Dead." - by Juan Jesus Murillo, from the book Secret Games
