周一上午，爱荷华中心摄影学院的学生欢迎一群高年级学生参加一个特别的摄影活动。

这些老年人并不是高中年鉴上的照片对象，而是住在邻近的友谊港的老年人，他们花时间为家人拍摄了一些特别的照片，以便在未来的岁月里珍藏。

当第一组学生到达他们的地球日肖像课程时，每个居民都选择了鲜花来为他们的照片增添色彩，让学生们开始拍摄他们的主题。

It didn’t take long for resident Rose Jochims to find a bouquet of tulips and a floral crown for her session. 乔基姆斯把王冠戴在她头上，微笑着。

“How do I look?” she asked her friend, Niki Conrad, director of marketing at Friendship Haven.

乔基姆斯随后将皇冠递bet365中文康拉德，康拉德戴上皇冠，并与她合影留念。

“She’s my sister,” Jochims teased Conrad.

当一群学生轮流拍照时，这对教员二人组分享了一个被及时捕捉到的特殊时刻，并发出了一些笑声。

这正是拍照的目的。

“So many of our residents have not had their picture taken in quite a while,” said Conrad. “We thought this would be a fun way for them to get a new photo and share them with their families as a keepsake.”

埃莉诺·奥斯坦多夫（Eleanor Ostendorf）带着女儿南希·汤普森（Nancy Thompson）来拍照。 Ostendorf’s face lit up as she donned a floral crown and interacted with the students.

“She loves art, and she loves students,” said Thompson. “This is just perfect for her.”

“It was wonderful, so wonderful,” said Ostendorf. “They do a beautiful job.”

“This is such a fun, feel good thing,” said photography student Katie Carroll. “I know my grandma would really enjoy something like this, so I knew I wanted to be part of it.”

摄影专业的学生布列塔尼·威斯库斯说，这个项目符合她为老年人做志愿者的爱好。

“I just love working with senior citizens because they have such great stories,” said Wiskus. “It is fun to work with them and a great way to add variety to my portfolio."

Rochelle Green, Iowa Central Photography Program coordinator said her students have worked with Friendship Haven residents on various photography projects over the years, but Monday’s Earth Day floral sessions were a first.

“We have worked with Friendship Haven on portrait projects several times in the past,” said Green. “We wanted to do a ‘senior photo’ session in the style of high school senior photography and the Earth Day session is a great way to promote the sessions. So many of the residents live such vibrant lives and have fun things they love to do, and this is a way to capture that and for our students to have age diversity in their portfolios.”

在离开肖像工作室之前，Jochims最后一次向学生们表示感谢。

“Thank you, thank you,” she said. “You made me feel famous.”
