Right now i'm teaching an eight week photography class for kids 12 and up.
I, LOVE, IT.
I love this!
Can't say it enough.
The class is held through my favorite gallery in Pasadena, SPACE. They have tons of workshops for both kids and adults. I am also practicing typing in real capitals right now. Proper sentences. It doesn't feel right but I'm experimenting.
Anyway.
We're on week 4 in the class, and I decided to take them to Chinatown to practice what we learned about documentary photography. We took the Metro, loved our lives, took millions of pictures, and got boba at the end. I brought my roommate with me to help keep everyone alive, and I wore my tennis shoes because I think I expected to be chasing children the whole time. Nope, they're 13. No chasing.
So! Just wanted to share :)
end of the day smiles. again, shaina was my lifeline.
