original description

In July I took a master class workshop with Pep Bonet at the Fotopub festival in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. The best thing I did all summer so far... I really valued Pep's direct and intuitive approach in guiding the 6 of us, and I really feel that an intense workshop like that - 5 days of shooting, getting feedback, learning and reshooting - is a great way to develop. Pep gave me some valuable advice on my portfolio but the one comment that really stuck is that I still shoot with so much variety that its hard to know which one is 'me.' I liked that advice and it made me think a lot about my approach and what I want it to communicate. Work in progress. The workshop was led by the keyword "identity" and we each had to find a project to shoot for 5 days in this tiny town of Novo Mesto where nothing seemed to be happening. I decided to work on a story about youth; that time where young people are just beginning to realize their possibilities (or limits), and trying to figure out where they fit in all of it is really intriguing to me, even more so in a small town where there seem to be more limits than possibilities. I had such a great week with this project and met some new young friends that really surprised me with the awareness they had of who they were or wanted to be. I dont remember being so together at 18... I know Ill meet a few of them again and Im really looking forward to it. Here are the images. Im quite happy with what I was able to do over the week. And I would really appreciate any feedback on this work. It helps me grow... - Granada, Spain, XX degrees on a cloudy evening, listening to the sounds from Calle Pintor Lopez Mezquita.
