 | Chicken Coop by
Amy Pagliaro |
... Amy Pagliaro '13 who participated in "Wilton Up Close" workshop with award-winning professional photographer Daryl Hawk. A group of 20 students met over the last several months to take photographs at three different locations, to write about the photos, and to choose and frame the prints. Mr. Hawk worked with the students on composition and light but also to "look for the extraordinary hiding beneath the surface of the ordinary." The workshop concludes February 2 with a reception at the Wilton Library to open a month-long exhibit of the photographs and writings, which will be published in a "Wilton Up Close" book.
