A translated excerpt.

" At the end of the workshop had 1,100 images. Of these, we chose the best and remained 395. From my point of view, these 395 photos can stand anything, without any embarrassment, any gallery wall. Images are much better than many photographers imagine: there are honest, innocent and fresh. Were not affected by routine techniques and they do not see the common trigger-happy pleasure on camera gear. For selection of magazine printed an interim step I made, one of 64 images. Among them was my most difficult to choose.

Finally, I asked if they learned something. She said they have learned not to use the zoom, put 100 ISO 1600 ISO on the outside and the inside frame and every thing counts."

Some really nice stuff there. They played with reflections and shadows. #47 for example is nice.

Refreshing and candid. I am often amazed by the images produced by non-photographers. Thanks for sharing the link!
