What an awesome project!

Oh, the places we'll go!

We’re getting closer and closer to our NYC: Part 2 project launching this summer!  Our student photographers will take their cameras to the streets of New York during our photojournalism course-  where would YOU like to see them go? We’d love to hear your suggestions for potential field trips and off-site activities for our next group of amazing student photographers! http://100cameras.org/ Photo by Emmanuel Afolabi in Brooklyn.
