casey templeton does not mess around.....when you talk to him , he listens....but you cannot tell if he agrees with what you are saying or not....he looks at you in an intense way, but reveals nothing....no matter....because he then  picks up his camera , no more questions asked, and just goes out and shoots....an editor's dream photographer i would imagine....

for our workshop here in new york the boy did two stories....most photographers struggle to do one.....one of the stories he did was from the infamous Gleasons Gym (shown above) and the other was on the folks here in new york who raise pigeons on their rooftops (shown below)....casey was on the move then and he is on the move now....right after the workshop, casey was headed for an internship at National Geographic..right now he his shooting for AP....but casey has an even more important "assignment"...

in june casey will be married.....maybe he will log on with a comment about my "relationships" piece upcoming...he has obviously figured it out...or more likely, she has.....i do not know casey's bride to be...but, for sure, she has found the right man..... casey is just one all-around terrific guy...smart, talented, loaded with integrity, and a gentleman to boot....casey and i share a bit of history with richmond, virginia....from my richmond experience i know another thing....casey is the southern gentleman personified....in the very best sense of it.....casey is steeped in tradition and yet is moving forward like a cannon ball fired across the james river by jeb stuart....the south will rise again!!!

casey says " with my work i am running a marathon.....i do not want my career to be a sprint"

she works as a commercial photographers assistant in catania.....she wants to "break out" and do her own work......cristina ferramo has lots of ideas and is just trying to figure out which way to go....in our sicily class she started out doing work with children's street games and ended up tying in all in with teenage love and lost love....she was always thinking thinking and wrote me a long letter in the middle of the workshop about her overall intent as a photographer... cristina struggles with what we all struggle with....how to take her feelings and her vision "out there" in way that makes sense to her and possibly to others....i will stay in touch with cristina as i do with most of my students....i want to see what happens to cristina and her work.....she has the ability to go "inside" and her photographic "touch" is just right....show me more cristina, show me more.....
