The fine art of capturing the essence, the inner life, of a subject is a tall order for any photographer — even masters such as Ms. Leibovitz don’t always succeed. Sacred Heart Prep senior Shannon Hamilton of Menlo Park decided to tackle the challenge in a series of photographs she calls “The Passion Portraits,” now on view in the Sigall Building at the school’s Atherton campus. The resulting portraits are whimsical, funny, touching and revealing; clearly, this young artist has a gift for achieving a rapport with her subjects as they open themselves to the camera’s lens. The project began when Shannon was asked to take portraits of women students for the school’s annual Women’s Talent Show, held in March. Rather than limit the portraits to women, Shannon opened it up to all students and staff, and came up with the idea of asking each person to pose with an object that represents her or his passion in life. She set a schedule of four days, during which she would photograph the people outside the administration building, using a digital camera and just a sheet of white paper as a backdrop. The first day only four friends showed up, but Shannon was undeterred. She photographed the small group and then posted the pictures on Facebook, the popular social Web site. The next day, students and faculty lined up to have their photograph taken. In all, she shot a total of 60 people, often taking as many as 20 photos of a person. And what did her subjects choose as their “objects of passion”? Predictably, there were examples of athletic gear — basketballs, footballs and a tennis racket. But there were also the unexpected. One student brought a photograph By SHERYL NONNENBERG S P ECI A L TO T H E A L M A N AC About the author: Sheryl Nonnenberg is an art researcher and writer who lives in Menlo Park. She works as a part-time librarian at Sacred Heart Preparatory School. Photo by Pallavi Menon, senior at Sacred Heart Prep Photographer Shannon Hamilton of Menlo Park, a Sacred Heart Prep senior, has 42 of her photographic portraits of students and staff on exhibit at the school. Each person shows an object that represents his or her passion in life. of her late mother. Another showed up with ballet shoes on and posed en pointe. Biology teacher Deenie Clinton arrived with five rats from her lab. English teacher Connie Solari proudly displayed an action figure of her beloved Dante, while student Maggie Brezinski wears a chef’s hat and holds tools of the culinary trade. Shannon was able to allow her subjects to reveal themselves, without any self-consciousness or hesitancy. “Photography is a shared moment” and a way to “distill reality,” she says. She took on the Passion Portraits because it was a “cathartic release” and a way to distract her thoughts from concerns about grades and college applications, she says. She had no way of knowing that the project would become so large, or so time-consuming. After taking the portraits, she and her brother, Sean, spent hours teaching themselves editing techniques using Photoshop software. Shannon used color to highlight the objects held by each person. The rest of the portraits are in black and white. Influenced by the large-scale, blackand-white photographs of Richard Avedon, Shannon arrived at a double-layered editing technique that required using two prints. The portraits were taken using a color digital camera; the color was then removed, yielding a black-and-white print. That print was placed over the color print and the area surrounding the object was carefully removed, revealing the object below in color. In this photographic portrait by Shannon Hamilton, student Maggie Brezinksi shows her passion for cooking by wearing a chef’s hat and holding the tools of the culinary trade.

The photos were printed on glossy photo paper (actual printing done by Costco.com) in a 20-by-30-inch format. She chose to have the printing process done commercially because of the desired size of the finished prints and also due to the time it would have taken to print in the school’s darkroom. In this case, the editing process (done on Photoshop) was more important, aesthetically, than the printing process. Shannon Hamilton has studied photography since her sophomore year; she says, in fact, that she looked for a high school that had a darkroom and a photography curriculum. She explains that learning how to take a photograph and then actually printing it in a darkroom is a good basis for any photography student, since printing attunes the eye to the myriad uses of light. Last year, she won first place in the youth category of the Palo Alto Weekly’s annual photography contest with a photo of a small child jumping in a puddle of water. She has been offered admission by a long list of colleges, including Duke and Georgetown University, and plans to pursue her love of photography wherever she goes. The Passion Portraits are on display in the Sigall Building on campus through June 5. The prints are for sale, with proceeds going toward a project called Epoche, which brings students in the seventh and eighth grades at St. Elizabeth Seton School in Palo Alto to Sacred Heart to learn photography and darkroom techniques from Sacred Heart student volunteers. The program was started by Shannon and fellow student Pallavi Menon. Although they will be graduating in June, other SHP students have stepped forward to continue the program. A ■ INFORMAT ION Biology teacher Deenie Clinton arrives for her portrait with five rats from her lab. The Passion Portraits — 42 of them — are on display through June 5 in the main hallway of the Sigall Building on the Sacred Heart Preparatory campus, 150 Valparaiso Ave. in Atherton.

Henry Winkler talks on his new book at MP library Author and actor Henry Winkler and co-author Lin Oliver will visit the Menlo Park Library at 7 p.m. Friday, May 16, to talk about their latest book, “The Life of Me: (Enter at Your Own Risk),” part of their Hank Zipzer series. The free program is co-sponsored by the Menlo Park Library and Kepler’s bookstore in Menlo Park. Many remember Mr. Winkler as “The Fonz” on the television program, “Happy Days.” His book, he says, is based on his true life experiences as “the world’s greatest underachiever.” Growing up in New York City, no one knew what dyslexia was, he says. “I was called stupid, lazy and I was told that I was not living up to my potential,” says Mr. Winkler. The book deals with learning differences in an empathetic way. Mr. Winkler and Ms. Lin have written 14 books about Hank Zipzer, their fourth-grade hero. The authors will sign copies of the book, which is available through Kepler’s Books. For more information call the Menlo Park Library Children’s Desk at 330-2530.

Rumors of the demise of the local real estate market have been greatly exaggerated. Since the beginning of the year, low inventory and high buyer demand has resulted in brisk sales in Palo Alto & Menlo Park. The majority of homes listed for $1.5 million have sold for over the list price. Two keys for successfully selling your home: 1) Properly prepare your home 2) Price your home correctly. If you are considering selling your home, now is the perfect time. My professional staff is ready to assist you in preparing and selling your home. I look forward to adding your name to my list of very satisfied clients. All the best, Ann Griffiths Questions or comments?

Beraldo, 1105 Benton St., Ste C, Santa Clara, CA 95050, (408) 554-9478 (Almanac 5/14, 21, 28, 2008) Notification of Cost of Capital (COC) Filing by California Water Service Company - Bear Gulch Service Area On May 1, 2008, the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) filed Application A.08-05-002 with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) asking for authority to increase its authorized COC for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011. If approved by the CPUC, Cal Water's revenues would increase by $1,041,428 or 4.89%. Cost of Capital is a financial term defining how much a corporation is allowed in rates as a return on its invested capital. In this proceeding the CPUC will determine Cal Water's reasonable costs of long-term debt, preferred stock and common stock that are part of the authorized cost of Capital. The authorized COC will be applied to the capital investment authorized for Cal Water. The purpose of this notice is to inform customers of the filing of the Application and to provide instructions on how to provide input in the process. Summary of Key Reasons for Cal Water's COC Request • Cal Water believes approval of this request is necessary for it to attract capital to meet its obligations to serve its customers safely and efficiently. • Cal Water's COC proposal will assist it in maintaining an investment-grade rating, thereby reducing the overall financing costs and contribute to Cal Water's ability to provide high quality, reliable water service. • Cal Water's authorized COC determines the compensation for those who invest in Cal Water. Cal Water's Request For Cal Water's metered customers Cal Water is requesting an increase of $0.17 per CCF of water per month. If Cal Water's proposal is adopted, a typical metered customer with a 5/8” x 3/4” meter using 28 CCF of water per month would see a monthly water bill increase of $4.70 or 5.28% from $ 89.01 at present rates to $93.71 in mid-2009. The rates shown on your monthly water bill may vary from the existing rates shown above due to surcredits or surcharges currently in effect in your area. The CPUC's Process The CPUC's Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) will review the Application and submit its independent analysis and recommendations in written reports for the CPUC’s consideration. Other parties may also participate. Evidentiary hearings may be held whereby parties of record will present their testimony and are subject to crossexamination before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). These evidentiary hearings are open to the public, but only those who are parties of record can present evidence or cross-examine witnesses during evidentiary hearings. After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the assigned ALJ will issue a proposed decision. When the CPUC issues a final decision on this application it may adopt all or part of the ALJ's proposed decision as written, amend or modify it, or deny the Application. The CPUC's final decision may be different from Cal Water's proposal. For Further Information Additional information may be obtained from the company’s local offices by calling (650) 367-6800. You may also contact the company’s headquarters at 1720 North First Street, San Jose, California 95112-4598, or by calling (408) 367-8200. You may also contact the CPUC's Public Advisor's Office with comments or questions at: 866/ 849.8390 (toll free) or 415/703-2074. Their Email address is: [email protected] and their mailing address is 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. All comments received will be circulated to the assigned ALJ, appropriate CPUC staff, and to the five Commissioners. If you are writing to the CPUC, please refer to Application A.08-05-002.
