Shutterbugs Exhibition with Colombian Partners!

There will be an amazing exhibition of both my Stetson and Colombia student's work from April 29th-May 26th. As the front of their postcard above suggests, both groups will share their perspectives on their cultures and communities with their photographs. All proceeds from the show go towards the Shutterbug's trip to Colombia this summer. Of particular interest is a panel discussion on Sunday, May 20th, alongside organizers and participants from other youth photography outreach programs, including Sarah Stolfa from Philadelphia Photo Arts Center, Robert Morrison from the Project Group, and Lindsay Sparagana from the Goodlands Project.

Presentation at Cheltenham Camera Club

Just some of the wonderful folks at the Cheltenham Camera Club!

Last night I had the honor of being invited to present my work as an artist and educator to the incredible folks at the Cheltenham Camera Club (CCC). They got to learn about me and my students and I got to learn about the great things they do. They were also incredibly generous and donated $150 as well as a carload of photo gear to our program so THANK YOU CCC!
