“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” – Robin Williams

We like to think that our words and ideas don’t matter. Truth is, an idea is where change can begin. In education, I hear a lot of people who complain about everything that’s wrong. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of things that need to be addressed. What doesn’t help is having ideas for change but not doing the work. While there is a lot that is out of our control, we can make change on what is in our control. The ideas have to come in order for change to happen. It might not be a huge change, but any change for the better makes the world better.

Pike Place Market was something else. It was an amazing space to see, and a lot of fun to walk around. What was even more fun for me was the opportunity to take my camera out and get some great photos. I had my camera in my hand the entire time while we walked around. This was one of those moments I was glad that I had been practicing street photography while in Charlotte. I was able to take those skills and put them to work here at the Pike Place Market. It was an amazing place to see, from random eclectic shops to fun bookstores.
