Sometimes we forget the power of photography. These are wonderful and I can't wait to see what these "Kids" have in store for us!!
ReplyDeleteNice Work!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the image quality and compositions.
Not your everyday snapshots... Way to go!
The "train station" by Nicole Sato expresses some very strong emotions. Don't know why she photographed that, but she certainly captured the sadness of isolation...almost a sense of desperation by leaving that top railing in the image. Well done Nicole...hope to see more of your work as you develop your interests.
