I finally have news about the internship I'll be doing during the second half of my program here! I received this email yesterday:
Dear Mackenzie, I am pleased to inform you that FIE has provisionally placed you in an international internship with World Photography Awards. World Photography Awards is a global, annual awards programme for both professional and amateur photographers. As one of the largest photographic events existing today, The Sony World Photography Awards (SWPA), reach far beyond an awards programme for the still image. The website can be accessed at: http://www.worldphotographyawards.org/
Hopefully more information will follow soon (anticipation, anticipation, anticipation), but I think that it's safe to say that I'm going to LOVE it. Fingers crossed that I'll have access to some good photo printers and (maybe?) a darkroom.
Leeds was so much fun! The English countryside was pretty gloomy, and Leeds itself was more industrial than picturesque, but the people made up for it a million times over. We danced until almost 4am at the student union on the first night, and we hung out at Christy and Sara's hilariously perfect friend Abi's house the second night. During the day we wandered around aimlessly and semi-explored the neighborhood around Chris Price's dorm building where we were staying. I've never slept so badly in my entire life though, as we shared one tiny dorm bed between all three of us both nights.
Yesterday I did a tour of parliament, walked along the Thames, shopped at Primark (the only store cheaper than Forever 21), and concluded the day at the Tate Museum. My favorite piece was a photo proof sheet by Robert Franks that documented his travels around the US. You might recognize this photo of his (I'd seen it before, and so I reckon it's pretty famous):
