Capturing Beauty of Cherry Blossomos

OK, it's raining and we're expecting snow in the northeast, so I thought you might enjoy this. Be sure to visit the Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children site (link below) for more photos and info on the photographers.


WASHINGTON,D.C. - A group of four photographers with autism captured the beauty of the cherry blossoms and will be auctioning off their work to commemorate National Autism Awareness Month.
The photographers, Brian, James, Matt and Jimmie, all took pictures on the tidal basin using their Nikon Coolpix L18 cameras on Monday. They are all clients of Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children (CSAAC) located in Montgomery Village, Md., one of the oldest and largest autism services providers in the nation.

Father, son stay connected through photography

Henrietta, N.Y. —

For Steven Tryon, photography is more than just a passion for capturing the world around him — it’s a chance to connect with his son, Robert.
For the past five and 1/2 years, Robert, 33, has lived in a group home in Webster through Heritage Christian Services, a human services agency supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities. Robert is what Steven, of Brighton, said is termed “developmentally delayed,” and he is non-verbal.
But by sharing with Robert his interest in photography, Steven said he has been able to stay close with his son.
