Stone Barns Center

I started a photography class in the beginning of May at the Stone Barns center in Westchester. What a beautiful place this is. It is such a joy to be able to visit there every week for the afternoon. Each week our teacher Todd gives us an assignment and then we walk around and shoot. We meet at the end to go over the photographs we took the last week. I really like having a focus for photographing the area. My favorite was the one where we had to go to a spot on the property and sit for 20 minutes before we picked up our cameras. What a difference that time made in what I saw and what I shot. We had to do that in three different places. This past week we had to work with back-lighting or side lighting. I had such a great time I ended up shooting 4 rolls of film (Jay is really wishing I had gone digital now.) Anyway, here are some of the photgraphs I took in the past few weeks.
