The summer’s study in London is wrapping up, and for my photography students that means final portfolios. Tis class has been both a pleasure and a challenge for me, and it has been a real treat to see all my students grow as photogs over the past five weeks. They all have come a long way since their initial, pre-flight submissions. I’m proud of them all, but I wanted to highlight a couple of stand-out portfolios.

I Am a Londoner
I should have been born in England. Not only have I been an anglophile since my years as an undergrad, I am right at home in this city. In many ways, it is gray. From the cloudy summer skies to the faces of hurried pedestrians, the attitude of London fits with mine. People leave you alone, unless you don’t want to be. Londoners are used to anything, so nothing seems to bother them. Much.
Half Over!?
Where does the time go? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was writing about the first class day, and now the program has just over two weeks left! No matter how much time you have, there just doesn’t seem to be enough of it. This is true for London and perhaps for life. Thank goodness my life has included London.
First Class Day
Today is hot. Hot for London, that is. I met with my classes for the first time in London today, and despite the heat and noise, I think we’re off to a great start.
First Student Photos
It’s four days and counting. Yes, Thursday evening I jet off to London for five weeks of photography, travel, and beer. I can’t wait.
Pre-Flight
There’s still so much to do. With less than a month to go now, I still feel like I’ll never be ready. Yet, classes and plans are coming together, so I know all the hard work I’m doing now will pay off. It will. Seriously.
London Journal 2011
Thus begins my newest journal, documenting my trip to London and other sites abroad in the summer of 2011.
