Through the Lens – PhotoCentral’s Photo Reception

​This past weekend was the opening reception of Through the Lens, a photo exhibit showcasing the final portfolios of my Foothill College photo class. With over 100 images covering PhotoCentral’s walls and 22 students with their complete portfolio boxes ready to share, it was quite an evening! There was so much art to be enjoyed and taken in and thankfully there were many visitors to enjoy it all! It was such a privilege to be a part of the event and after much work and preparations, we were finally able to enjoy the fruit of our labor!

The show will be running through August 17, 2013 so please make it over there if you can!

It was quite the adventure to be a part of this exhibit and class! I feel so blessed to be able to work with such an amazing group of photographers. Our teacher, Kate Jordahl really was an inspiration to us all and was an invaluable help in pushing us forward in our love for photography!

Thank you dear friends and family for all your help and support along the way. And thank you to all who came to the exhibit reception! You made it a very special night for me and everyone else there! What a blessing this experience was for me!
