Tonight was my last art photography class where we revealed our
final assignment; the summation of our experience of the class. If you've seen the Louis Malle film
Vanya on 42nd Street, it was much like the final scene, (if you haven't seen it, rent it now!), where all the actors at the end of rehearsal come to realize they've had a profound experience and they depart, one by one, as the characters they depicted reluctantly slip from their faces and bodies. There is something special that happens when a diverse group of strangers get together, share ideas, learn, and come to some of the same conclusions of what constitutes beauty. The shot I've posted is a picture that, a year ago, I would have deleted immediately, failing to see anything beautiful in it. My friend, Kathie, said the same thing about her
cover image on the Blurb book she created. Stunning, isn't it?
The trick now? To carry these ideas forward.
