Finding Truth (and our NGO)
Today was the first full day of the Truth With a Camera Workshop, and we got a lot of groundwork done so that we can get to work. We began by meeting all of the students and the NGO’s that we’re planning to work with at Universidad San Francisco de Quito, a beautiful school near our hotel in Cumbayà.
Through Friday I’ll be working with Alejandro Reinoso, a local photojournalist who is on the staff of a local paper, El Telégrapho. It’s great since he’s familiar with Quito, speaks Spanish, and seems like a great photographer.
Our first assignment was to take portraits of each other. Also, we learned that tomorrow we’re heading downtown to make contact with our assigned NGO who was slightly MIA today, but hopefully that works out.
My instructor for the workshop is Dave Ellis, the Director of Photography for the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star. The other instructors are Stephen Katz and Josh Meltzer.
