Thursday, June 11, 2009. At some point in Accelerator, everyone just simply "hits the wall." The adrenaline and coffee wear off. We captured this "quiet moment" with Brad Cayer. Brad is one of our 10 Coaches that have provided help and guidance for our students throughout the program. I've captured about 20 shots like this so far. My goal will be to get a ".zzzzz." picture of each participant by the end of the program. It's sort of a "right of passage" of the program. Faculty Director, Accelerator 2009.
