“One day, as I was crouched with my camera in hand over Spilled Soda on the Sidewalk Smiley (right), a man came along and asked, ‘What in the world are you talking a picture of?’
I showed him the Smiley.
He smiled.
I smiled.
He went on his way.
About two minutes later, he came running back in my direction.
‘Quick!  Bring your camera! I found one.’
-Ruth Kaiser

Thus the Spontaneous Smiley Project was created.
Over the past years, HHS students have donated hundreds of dollars to charity…just by seeing all sorts of stuff smiling at us.

When I was a kid, I used to run from my shadow. At night in my room, the only thing a shadow could make was something that scared me. It takes imagination to turn something into something it really isn’t. To me shadows are like finding shapes in the clouds.

Krispy has always been dear to my heart. My mom and dad gave her to me when I was six years old on Valentines Day, and ever since then I’ve adored her. She is very important to me and if anything ever happened to her I would be really sad. I wanted to have a photo series of something I really love, and Krispy was the first thing that came to mind…Plus she is super adorable!

These photos represent what our stuffed animals do when we’re gone during the day or on vacation. I thought a lot of people could relate to this because we all have the one toy from our childhood that we still have sitting in our room.

PS: SHE ISN’T A BUNNY, SHE’S A DOG!

I happened upon some old pictures I found. Looking at them reminded me of my old self–the old Jessi. These are unwanted memories–heavy burdens that lay on my heart. I had to renounce these emotions once and for all–so I severed each photograph with the satisfaction of a pair of scissors. My heart will never be burdened again–Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir, Farewell…

Why do we insist on complicating?
There is beauty in simple things; in distilling down to form.
One thing. One line.
