 | | OJOS nuevos - Pentax Photos From the Workshop The most memorable photographs taken during the OJOS nuevos shoots were the images the students took of themselves. With their Pentax cameras, the girls captured memories they will be sure to share for a lifetime. |
After all the streets, strangers, and sceneries photographed, the most memorable photos for the girls were the ones of themselves. Their library of images and videos has been built up to be a beautiful compilation of visuals that will go on to be shared in prints, movies, and stories. These pictures of one another and pictures of pictures are a collection for the kids to celebrate their creativity, experiences, and recall how fun it was to be a part of something so entertaining.

For the first time, Monica and Yanela try a chorillana, a meal that consists of a mountain of french fries with sautéed onions, scrambled eggs, steak, and sausage. The PENTAX and TakeGreatPicture.com sponsorship included lunches on days we took fieldtrips outside of the hogar. © 2007 Lindy
