\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dana Danzel, a drag queen at a bar. I approached and asked her if I could take a few photos. I loved her personality, and blue accents. Shot a roll of Kodak Portra 400 on her on my Leica, and shot a few photos with my phone to email her. Provincetown, 2014.<\/p>\n

Just flew out from sfo this morning at 6am and arrived for the meet and greet for the Magnum Workshop. Was met with a beautiful sunset, and was able to meet some great folks. Also had a great chat with Song, the Magnum workshops coordinator.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I spent some time with my good friends Karl and Quoc (who have attended workshops with me in the past) , and also met Kile and Sofia (two other Magnum scholarship winners, under 30 years old).<\/p>\n

I’m quite excited for the workshop. I teach so many workshops myself, it feels liberating to be a student again.<\/p>\n

It was so exciting getting the scholarship acceptance email (almost as exciting as getting into college) and I see this workshop as a great opportunity to meet other passionate photographers, learn from the master Magnum photographers, and also learn how I can teach my workshops better.<\/p>\n

I’m so grateful for my girlfriend Cindy for sending me the link to the workshop and encouraging me to apply. I honestly didn’t think I would get in (there were only 4 workshop scholarships available) but getting in has given me a lot of confidence in my work.<\/p>\n

I think the assignment is to shoot a project for the week. I’m quite interested in the drag queen culture here, I might document that. Apparently Provincetown has the second largest gay community after San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately David Alan Harvey got stuck at the airport, so won’t be here until Wednesday. The upside: first two days I’m going to attend Constantine Manos’ workshop (love his work).<\/p>\n

I’m going to try to shoot the entire workshop on film (hopefully I can add the images to my ongoing “Only in America” series). And maybe a few photos on my phone for Instagram.<\/p>\n

Going to sleep early, to wake up at 6am to capture some beautiful light!<\/p>\n

Hugs from Provincetown, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
