With his interactive presentations, Wing shows the various ways he has photographically interacted with thousands of people from all walks of life. One activity Wing facilitates is “Chalk Talk,” a simple concept where he simply walked up to people and posed questions so open-ended, they were not easy to answer. After the conversation, Wing asked them to write something on the chalkboard that reflected their perspectives and then photographed them with what they wrote. This process is an educational tool now used in many classrooms.
“Wing’s presentation is a powerful tool for educators. Participants will recognize and process though their media and ethnocentric driven pre-conceptions of how folks develop racial and cultural identity. Wing has the rare talent of facilitating a major paradigm shift through his non-threatening style of communication and the art of photography.”

"It was an experience I will definitely remember forever! I walked out of [the room] feeling like a new person and I looked at everyone I passed in the halls very differently; I looked at them with more respect and with more of a realization that their backgrounds and past totally reflects who they are, what they look like, and how they act, and that they matter in life just as I do and everyone else around me."
—Student, St. Louis Park Senior High School
