Alejandra and Bassem live in the super-vibrant neighborhood of TriBeCa, New York City. I don’t get to roll on up to New York too often, so it’s always exciting for me to do photos there, particularly in a neighborhood I’d never really seen before. My in-laws are out on Long Island (getting completely snowed in today), so I’m always just on the verge of having grand adventures in the city. It’s still super-exciting to just take the train in for the day. Especially when I get to meet up with rad clients like these two.
So, at some point after I took a workshop with Spencer Lum in July, I was supposed to write some diatribe about how it changed me, etc. etc. But the truth is, it’s hard to be changed. I think we tend to walk away from life experiences like that one inspired, challenged and pumped and as time goes by, you settle back into who you always were. Maybe you get to grow just a teeny, tiny bit. Maybe not. I came away from the workshop absolutely jazzed to do personal projects. Total number of personal projects even started since then: 0. It is what it is.
The first round of rejects can be seen here. Now I’m showing you even more project rejects, but it’s the last set before the big reveal (are you excited yet!?) These images come from a workshop I took in July with Spencer Lum. It was gruelling and exciting and I’m proud of the work I produced. Hope you like this second set of losers. You can skip ahead to the full set of finalized projects if you like, or you could be held in suspense a while longer.
