My Foundation Workshop Assignment

Posted on February 11th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in A Life in the Day

Last week, I attended the Foundation Workshop, which helps wedding and portrait photogs develop their photojournalism skills. To say it like that seems so dry, as I made so many new friends and feel like I have joined an amazingly warm and supportive community by attending. I also learned a ton about myself, the way I shoot, and how my psyche is most definitely involved, good or bad.

Each student was given an assignment in the DFW area to cover and create a story with images. I was assigned the McKinney Senior Recreational Center. I loved it so much that I am actually going to become a volunteer there! What an incredible community resource it is…I hope it is still around in oh, 30 years or so.

Here are some of my favorites from the assignment. I can’t post them all, but if you really really really want to see the full slideshow and you swear you aren’t going to go to Foundation Workshop in the next decade, then holla back and I will email you the link.

Really great shots Kate! Your photos make me want to know the people in them. Fantastic job! I’m so excited you got to attend the workshop (and that you got to work with Ashley - you both inspire me so)
