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.

This breathtaking photograph of the sculpture Virgin Mary is a magnificent example of the wondrous beauties around the area of Izmir, Turkey. The glimmering sun is the one enlightening the assortment of religion and history and giving it an aspect of belief and innocence.

This is a picture I did not take of someone you can trust for a lifetime who had beautiful eyes glimmering in the sunshine, while she looked away and had a deep independent gaze towards the sun, ready to say good-bye and leave it's place for the stars. While the sea flashed in the nightfall, the colour of her eyes gleamed and brightened the hours of darkness.
