Blunt Photos, Blunt Talk On Display
by Paul Bass | June 11, 2009 7:56 AM | Permalink
Tyrone met up with Andre on the corner. One day Tyrone slapped a metal object in his hand. He told Andre to shoot. Andre thought it was cool.
He still does. He has the photos to show for it.
The metal object that Tyrone Weston (at right in photo) slapped in Andre Copeland's hand was a Coolpix digital camera, not a pistol. He told Copeland (at left in photo) to photograph the world of guns, drugs and money that he has grown up amid in the Hill neighborhood. Then he brought Copeland together with 18 other young people who were also taking pictures, to talk about how their world looked through a new lens.
Now the public-health researchers, street outreach workers (like Weston), and New Haven teens who took place in this 18-month experiment are sharing some of their work with the rest of the city.

As of July 1, 3,000 developmentally disabled individuals will no longer receive the services of a case manager to help them and their families coordinate medical, residential, respite, special education, or job training services.
At a Capitol press conference Wednesday, the mothers of Bella, Michael, and Amanda, who currently receive those services wondered "who will speak on behalf of those unable to speak for themselves?"
"Our lives are difficult with case management; without it--unsustainable," Suzanne Brown, the mother of Amanda, a 20 year old with cerebral palsy, said.
