Pick a Peck of Back Packs

We had a really fun day helping our church give out back packs stuffed with back to school goodies. It was interesting to see how different students picked their back pack. Some just walked right up and took one without any hesitation but others examined all the different colors, the styles, and the contents before making their final selection. Decisions, decisions! We had 198 back packs to give out. At the end of the distribution time we had given away 190! The rest will be given out at church tomorrow- first come first serve.
That is a nice thing to do and much appreciated I’m sure.

What a wonderful project. I like your choice of composition for this photo to show the student and the backpacks!

Love this shot--showing the student making a choice but respecting his/her privacy. That's a wonderful project any time, but especially this year when some have been out of work.

Thank you Nicole, Katy, Debbie, Diane, Dorre, Joy, Sally, Diana, Babs, Marognaut, Harry, Wendy and Kathy!

@ludwigsdiana Yes, this was the moment just before he officially made it his choice.

To all- I had a good time finding creative ways to capture this day without capturing the faces of the children who came to get a back pack. Most of the parents didn't seem to mind a camera pointing at their children, but I am very sensitive as to posting pictures of children, especially their faces.
