Welcome to our visual blog for the BUPS/BIS 2009 8th grade Ephesus trip. These photographs, captions and "unphotographs" represent a joint venture in English and art class capturing the experience of the students' final middle school trip at BUPS/BIS. Many still remember and speak fondly of the games at Patalya in 6th grade and the adventures in Cappadocia last year in 7th. This year's experience held the same kind of wonder and memories, all the more poignant since in just a little time they will graduate from the 8th grade. The students have chosen their best landscape, portrait and detail photograph, writing a concise and descriptive caption for one. Using Michael David Murphy's "Unphotographable" as an inspiration, the students also wrought an image in words when its meaning went beyond the pixel.

Even though they will be in the same building next year and have many of the same teachers, high school is a different world. Every assignment and class trip of middle school has been constructed to help the students succeed in this new realm. But, as you will see from the photos of Ephesus and its surrounding areas and as the students realized, the past is never far away, and it's always the foundation for the future.

The gorgeous and gigantic amphitheater carried on till our present day that was built in the dark ages (1400-1500 B.C.) This amphitheater can hold 6500 people. Today it is in Turkey's borders.

This is a picture I did not take of a beautiful young lady, her eyes huge and angelic. She was looking straight into my eyes, like she needed help. She was carrying a white trash bag; she was poor and she seemed to be afraid of something. When she was walking very fast in the same time she was looking back. She made me realize that I was lucky to have all of these delightful clothes and a house to live in.
