How lucky are we?

We were lucky enough today to have a wonderful student spend the day at Bijou. This student (you may have read about them in the paper!) was from Syracuse University, his job was to tell a story with pictures. We learned a lot about him too! Daniel is also a military combat photographer.

During the day at Bijou he captured....lots of people getting colored and foiled...manicures between a bride and bridesmaid...pedicures between sisters...a bride getting her final touches and lots of teenagers getting their make up and hair done for homecoming! He blended in well, and we hardly noticed the flashes!

Daniel, Thank you for coming in to Bijou, it was such a pleasure to work with you! And thank you so much for giving us the disc of photographs so that I could share them with everyone!

PLEASE PLEASE click on this link...(I promise, you will not be disappointed!!)take a few moments to visit the "Fall workshop" that Syracuse University students put on. It is a documentary of photos..."Days in the life of Skaneateles". We attended the public preview of everyone's work, and it was so fun to see photos and videos of the people of our quaint village. I especially loved that he captured Chris, our village friend who visits all the shops everyday, whoever photographed him, did it beautifully and I know many people who are very fond of Chris, that will enjoy it immensely!

Here is the "about us" section on the fall workshop website. Don't just look at the website once, it will be changing alot as they keep adding stuff (or so I am told:) I hope they put the slideshow they presented at the community preview. It was really fantastic! I'm really hoping they make a book as well! I would certainly buy it!! (hint, hint;)

About the Fall Workshop

Each Fall more than 50 graduate and undergraduate students from the Multimedia Photography and Design department [MPD] at Syracuse University's Newhouse School canvas a small town in upstate New York, recording sound, writing stories and shooting photos and video.

Over twenty leading newspaper and magazine professionals from throughout the Northeast will coach students, critiquing and editing their work.
