My Hometown- A Photo Project

"What would happen if you asked high school students to help create a 21st-century portrait of the country by turning their cameras on the neighborhoods, families, friends, and schools?"

     http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/19/looking-at-our-hometowns/

    This is an article from The New York Times about a project called My Hometown. Over three thousand teenagers participated in this project and provided photographs of their hometowns. The slide show is beautiful, and it is great to see parts of the country from a perspective that doesn’t always match our own.

   Check out the slide show and perhaps leave some comments for the wonderful photographers. Every budding artist needs the encouragement. :)

Power Outtage

Due to the weather, the power is out in our area.  If you've opened ROES in the past 3 days, you can still create an order, but we are unable to receive and process orders at this time.  We hope that this will be corrected shortly. 

If you see that our website is up, then you can try to send through orders.

We apologize  for the inconvenience.

Update:

IT spent the night getting our servers up and running.  Please be aware, if you were sending anything from yesterday starting at 3:30 pm until early this morning it would not have came through to us.  If you did not get a confirming email for your order please call our customer service for assistance.

Thank you for your Patience!
