This is a day that I will never forget. The entire trip was one big learning experience. This is when I knew that I picked the right FSEM. The time spent on the train downtown made me realize that all of these crazy girls will become my best friends, and that professor who claims his brain is mush is probably the wisest person i have ever met. Walking to the museum I learned the most important lesson thus far in my photographic education; it is all light and enlightenment. On the streets of downtown Denver I learned more than I ever had before about soft and hard lighting.
Once inside the museum I was surrounded by things that amazed me. I should have known it was going to be an amazing place when the sink sang to me as a washed my hands. We started in the photography exhibit and I was blown away by everything that surrounded me. Every exhibit made me feel that same way. After a beautiful lunch on the university bill we headed to the camera obsucra, a gallery that I fell in love with. It appears to be an old house, but don't let the facade fool you. This place may not be a chic gallery but it has more history in it than anyone can imagine. Run by the old and lovable Hal who has witnessed photography become an art form in his lifetime, this is a place every photographer should visit. Every piece will blow you away.
This trip is easily the best memory of my first quarter of college. I was surrounded by great people and great art.
