Packing for Guadalajara

On Saturday I'll depart for a week in Guadalajara, Mexico as a participant in the Truth With a Camera Workshop. I've eagerly anticipated this week for about three months and packing time is finally here.
For those of you who have visited my blog these past months, I hope that I can keep posting while I'm in Guadalajara so that you'll have some new things to see. For those of you unfamiliar with my pending trip... here's a quick update.

Truth With A Camera is an annual workshop that sends photojournalists to various spot around the globe to hone their photography skills by photographing the work of local NGOs. During the week I'll be photographing the amazing work of CODENI. CODENI provides direct service to over 100 children and adolescents who rely on the streets of Guadalajara for their survival through social-work, street outreach programs, and education. In the evenings, I'll have the priceless opportunity to learn from fantastic photojouralists like Chris Tyree, Faith Cathcart, Dave Ellis, and Josh Meltzer!

Please check back in the next week to get a glimpse of the work I'll be doing!
