I was talking to Bugsy today and finally started to realize that I'm going to Europe this summer!
Its a little hard to think about it because it seems so far away (7 months). But the entire process is going to be a huge learning experience for me. I've never been out North America before! Here are some of the places we are going to visit...if anyone has actually be to or heard of anything cool about these places please drop me an e-mail about your experience...
London, England (June 30th-July 12th)
In London, students begin to explore British culture through their pictorial assignments, meetings with photographers, curators and editors and visits to caller's and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Students will stay in a residence hall at the University of London.
Prague, Czech Republic (July 13th-19th)
Some of the most important photographers of the 20th century were Czech and some of the most exciting photography currently being produced is Czech. Students will spend a week in one of Europe's most beautiful and culturally significant cities meeting photographers and exploring Czech history and culture.
Stonehenge and Bath/Lacock, England; Newport, Wales (July 20th-23rd)
The architecture of Bath is amongst the mose beautiful in the world. Students will have an opportunity to explore the city and will take day trips to Stonehenge and Lacock. In Lacock, students visit Lacock Abbey, the home of William Henry Fox Talbot, inventor of the negative-positive process of photography. Students will stay in a seld-catering residence house at the University of Bath. In Newport, students will visit the School of Documentary Photography at the University of Wales, Newport.
Bradford, England (July 24th-25th)
Students visit the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television. Housed in the museum is the Royal Photographic Society Collection, one of the richest collections of nineteenth-century photography in the world; the Kodak collection of photographic apparatus; and The Daily Herald, a collection of more than one million press pictures spanning most of the twentieth century.
Scottish Highlands (July 26th-29th)
The visit to this rugged, beautiful and historic part of Scotland will include hiking through the countryside. Students will work on short photographic projects related to the nature and environment of this region.
Edinburgh, Scotland (July 30th- August 9th)
In Edinburgh, students get a personal introduction to Scottish photography and culture by meeting photographers in home settings. Students photograph one of Europe's most exciting cities, explore museums and galleries, and experience the street theater and plays that are part of the Edinburgh International Festival. On a daytrip students will also visit the Sunday Herald newspaper in Glasgow.
So let me know if you've ever been to any of these places. I feel semi-guilty because I have this great opportunity to do this, but I don't know much about this area of the world...
