Rio de Janeiro. It’s a wrap. My photo workshop students and workshop team share a glass of champagne the morning after our grand finale slideshow at Ateli da Imagem last night. I cannot remember a more closely bonded class. We were shooting side by side all week. I was shooting my BeachGames zine and students were working on their individual essays. We met every morning in our beachfront classroom for critique, essay sequencing and out shooting the rest of the time. We pulled a few all nighters. Daily best pictures went up on the wall as prints. Simply, a remarkable set of essays came out of this process. Many in this group are sticking around to shoot Carnaval, me included. The workshop is officially over. Yet I know the buzz from this one will last forever. Love you all.. Hugs. #rio#photoworkshops #burnmagazine #beachgames
