Easter Seals client Mason gets a hug from College of DuPage student Petra Ford’s son, Jack, during the recent exhibition of work by COD students at the Easter Seals DuPage and Fox Valley Region. Each spring, associate photography Professor Terry Vitacco’s class spends the semester photographing local documentary assignments. As a final project, Ford and other students were matched with Easter Seals clients and spent a month capturing their daily lives with still photographs and audio interviews to create both printed photo essays and Sound Slides multimedia stories. The prints from the photo essays are juried and the chosen images are reproduced and displayed in Easter Seals’ lobby for one year. (Erica Benson/College of DuPage)
