Real World Digital Photography Class, [Canon 5D]
Cushing, Maine, August 21, 2008
(click in the image for a larger version)
Here's the class photo we took for my Real World Digital Photography class a few weeks ago at the Maine Media Workshops. This was taken at the Olson House, which is a part of the Farnsworth Museum and Wyeth Center in Rockland, Maine. The Olson House, located in nearby Cushing, is famous in the world of American painting because it figures in one of Andrew Wyeth's most celebrated works, "Christina's World" (see below). This location was also featured in several other Wyeth paintings.
Of course, when visiting such a place, the urge to create an image that references the original work is darn near impossible to resist, so we gave into temptation and the above group photo is the result. I am in the center, assuming the "Christina pose" (though I was unable to contort myself into quite the same posture!). It was a quite a fun group of people for that class and I really enjoyed exploring different parts of coastal Maine with them in search of perfect pixels.
