yep that’s right, by one of my favorite photographers in the world.  But more on that in a minute. 

Last week I had the privilege to be a part of the FW6 - the Foundation Workshop.  I really can’t put into words what an amazing experience it was.  The premise of Foundation is to improving storytelling/photojournalism skills - the brain child of Huy Nguyen.  Photographers from all over the world are there and we each get assigned a story that we go out and shoot.  For two days we are emersed in the story and presenting our images to our teams and team leaders.  We get an amazing critique on how we are doing and how to improve.  The end product is the slideshow we present but this workshop is about the journey, not the end.  And it’s about the people too.  The photographers present and the subjects.  I have made friends for life at Foundation. 

I haven’t even had time since returning to blog the images but one of my favorite photographers on the planet put some images on her blog, including a few of mine.  Anna Kuperberg was on staff at FW6 and she has been an inspiration to me since I found her website in 2004 when I was just getting my feet wet in photography.  Be sure and go to her blog if you want to take a look at what she posted.  And stay there for a while if you want to see some inspiring photography!

And if you want to see more pics from the workshop be sure and check out the Foundation’s website and blog. 

I will be posting more about this late including links to all my teammates.  I’m missing all of them and craving Thai food!!! Who knew?!?

One more pic from my assignment - the Senior Recreation Center of Allen Texas.  More coming soon…
