Foundry Photojournalism Workshop

I've alluded to it, but haven't explicitly talked about the workshop Andrew and I are participating in. The workshop is six days long--it started on Monday and tomorrow (Friday) will be day 5. There are about 140 photographers involved, including the instructors--many of whom are world class photojournalists. They've been all over the world and you've probably seen much of their work.

Each student is in a class with a specific instructor. Our days are dedicated to attending our classes and shooting photos for them. My class is taught by Guy Calaf and it has five other students. Every night everyone gets together for a slide show and panel discussion involving the instructors and their work. Then we grab dinner and beer with instructors and do it over again.

We have two major assignments in Guy's class. The first, as discussed in "Ready, Set, Go!", was to document a neighborhood of our choice in 24 a hour period. The second is to choose a subject of our choice and to develop a story around it. I have chosen to explore life in Mexico City's markets. Here are some photos that I took for it today:
