Crossway Community

August 25, 2017/ Kristen Franklin

Crossway is a special place. Through multiple programs and secure living facilities — including its Family Leadership Academy, Intergenerational Learning Center and an on-site Montessori school — Crossway provides complete wrap-around support to multiple generations to prevent poverty and help families thrive. I’ve made several visits to Crossway over the past few months, and each time have been amazed at the impact of its programs and sense of community. Its founder, Kathleen Guinan, is a true visionary and inspiration.

Picture Perfect Posing

July 21, 2017/ Casi Long

It’s not often — or ever — I get to spend a few days in New York City alone, with just my camera. But I had the opportunity to do just that last week, during the incomparable Roberto Valenzuela’s Picture Perfect Posing Workshop. It was masterful. He breaks down the science behind the subtleties of a beautiful portrait like no one else, and makes it fun!

The Big Easy

April 28, 2017/ Casi Long

New Orleans is a melting pot of culture, tradition, language, and arts of all kinds (music, visual, culinary… the list is infinite!). I spent just short of a week in this beautiful, vibrant city — during the French Quarter Festival no less — attending the Momenta: Project New Orleans workshop. Somewhere between assignments, editing, and lectures, I managed to squeeze in a few free hours to wander the city with my camera in hand. Have you ever been in the exact right place at the exact right time? That’s what happened when I stumbled upon the band Tuba Skinny beginning to set up for an impromptu performance on the corner of Toulouse and Chartres Streets. (They’re incredible by the way.) Laissez les bons temps rouler!
