The inaugural session of Candela: Finding Inspiration Through Photography wrapped up a few weeks ago. 38 students from around the country participated. They took fantastic photographs, wrote thoughtfully about their work, and helped set the stage for some wonderful creative discovery. I thought it would be nice to share some of their beautiful images here. A new session of Candela begins on September 25th, so if you're in need of some extra creative inspiration, I hope you'll join me.

To all of the intrepid photographers from Candela 1 - thank you! I miss you already!
