On Saturday, October 16, 2021, I attended a zoom session with Photoville.
It was called ” Youth Artist Exchange: Looking Inward “, it featured middle school and high school students as well as two members of the New York Times and one photographer hired by them to fulfill the assignment they had set out to complete which was Looking inward. Focusing moreso on what makes you you. Some photographer’s feature focused on family and food, and how those things make them feel. All these works presented were created during lockdown/quarantine when everyone was stuck at home. A perfect time to look inward if you ask me. I was impressed by the ambition of the budding young photographers and how fearless they presented in front of strangers and New York Times members alike. The ice breaker question, ” what’s a memory that you didn’t photograph but you wish you had? ” really had me thinking for quite some time. I’m happy I chose this event, I love all things photography. Hope to be apart of these photoville exhibits one day.
Attached is an image of all the speakers who’s photography was also shown via zoom and can be viewed at the in person photoville exhibits.
