So here’s the summary of our 2008-2009 Ahecha group in Tacuatí - our six students and the best photos by each.

========

Almita, at 10 years old, was one of our youngest students, but she traveled the furthest to get to class. Almi was one of my host sisters when I first got to Tacuatí. She’s a fast learner, and always willing to try new things.

Evelyn is friendly and effervescent. Evelyn shaped up to be quite the prolific shutterbug, with a good eye for line and geometry.

Liz Mariela, at 15, was our oldest student. Mariela took great pictures of other people, and knows how to get the most out of her models.

Lucy is quiet, serious, and hard-working. She didn’t speak up so much in class, but her creative and unconventional compositions say good things about her.

Valeria is as fearless as she is curious. She’s quick to speak her mind and wants to show the whole world what she sees.

Vanessa asks great questions. Her quietness and focus really shine through in her close-ups and still lifes.

And then of course you’ve got me and my partner in this project, Liam Winters. We supplied fresh batteries, encouragement, and laughs when we attempted to say “wrist strap” in Spanish.
