American Students Aix

Liz and Michael by Bridgett O'Carroll

Here’s some student work from our first critique. Liz, in Bridgett’s picture above, tried to get into my class, but it was already full. Then, she dropped her camera and decided she liked the pictures created with the shattered glass of her UV filter. She’s a student who adjusts well to adversity.

Speak about a student who can adjust in the face of adversity, Julia made this one on the street near our classroom. I should have printed it smaller.

Virginia's Heart by Michael Habermann

Michael’s lovely picture of Virginia is a good reminder of the beauty to be found through photography.

Boats by Virginia Hill

Virginia also knows beauty, even though she included a duck in the bottom of the frame.

It is so wonderful how almost all my students wear dresses and skirts daily. Aix can be casual, yet it feels better when one looks great. For me, I walk around as if cast in a “new wave” French film circa 1965; the dresses help with the illusion.

I’m calling this post Ameican Students Aix in reference to a great photo blog called American Suburb X. Check it out.
