you may remember the post i made of my final project, the portfolio collection, for the photo school i participated in last summer. the photo school, named souvenir photo school, was created by miss b and provided great inspiration! i had a great time being a part of her class during the end of the first term (missed the beginning of the class because at the time, i was not aware it even existed). a few weeks ago, i got an email from her saying she’d be in new york and wanted to meet up to take some photos! earlier tonight, we did get to meet up in central park and for a photo walk through the park. it was fun wondering around some of my favorite parts of the park shooting photos. i took her and her friend, s, to places i’ve gone so many times, but i loved how, despite me being there time and time again taking photos, they helped me see things i hadn’t noticed before. miss b also pointed out places to take photos and use as textures (something i haven’t done a lot of experimenting with, but am looking forward to collecting more potential textures).

as i explained how i tend to not take as many photos during the week (usually caused by the lack of light when i am finally off work), miss b mentioned a photographer who took photos on the subway. i haven’t seen these photos, but tonight, on the subway home, i was inspired to capture a few photos.

i am especially excited now for the second session of souvenir photo school to begin. can’t wait to see what creative and inspiring assignments we get! i’m hoping to keep myself on top of the assignments from the beginning to end.
