Thanks for the proposal and making it happen!

This week I started working on a new project with Cristal Fiel. We are following Juana Teresa Tello, organizer at Youth in POWER . They are petitioning about the T-line and want to engage the community, and increase the visibility of the needs in Bayview to have reliable and consistent Muni service, which at time is very minimal.

Here I am showing students how you can trigger the camera from a computer. A great tool when you are photographing table top or still life that I mostly do.
It’s also awesome to be able to view the image on a bigger screen, ‘a version of a polaroid’, for other involved in the production.
