Good morning, South Beach Part Deux
For one of the last classes of the spring semester, students met IPC Visual Lab instructor Carl Juste on South Beach for an early morning assignment. "Just take pretty pictures," he said. Carl pointed out that there were plenty of ingredients for pretty pictures: bright colors, architectural details, golden light, beautiful people.
Jennifer Kay thought to herself, "... but I don't take pretty pictures. I see weird South Beach, shapes and shadows, not pretty South Beach." She came upon a group of silhouetted people saluting the rising sun.
And then she came across an element that had eluded her during her shooting for her previous "South Beach Morning" project: a airplane flying within frame across the blue sky. Something pretty came out of the shoot after all.
