Museum Day


Yesterday was the second day of class. These young folks are really bright and fun. Yesterday we all went to the Alvarez Bravo museum to view the current show of Pedro Meyer.
It was great-all the students talked about composition, meaning, emotion, line, light etc. They were all very perceptive and I am impressed with them already.







After the museum, we practiced shooting again to get comfortable with the cameras and each other. Already I am noticing that they each have their own style. Nallely shoots bright and playful pictures (see shoes). Betina loves faces and portraits of people. She shot a few of children that are so great. Antonio is pensive and quiet. He takes his time with every shot and his pictures capture calm peaceful moments. (see pigeon)

Today we are all going to two local markets that are CRAZY with pigs heads, hot peppers and red high heels all side-by-side. We will be practicing shooting faces and portraits amidst the madness. Should be a visual feast! More soon...
