Your mentees most likely see some headshots and have no idea why you've called them up and posted them. It is very difficult to comment on something you don't see. But I understand your frustration, which is exactly why I keep my head down and have no writing advice for anyone--save for you--as it saves on my serenity. Good luck with teaching your new friends to see as you do. If they come away with a tenth of it they'll be lucky.

First of all,...I'll throw you a bone, Esteban. First of all, I think your approach of posting images you made on Instagram is a good idea, whether or not the young ladies have access to them. For you alone, if that is the case. It is a another part of curating, for a different audience and a different reason. All that you said could be reasons for non-responses. No access, life in general, shyness. But I must say that Fred and I both have friends that respond very slowly to emails, texts, and phone messages. It is always a bit off-putting, especially when they really are very good friends. That is the way some people roll, especially if they have dyslexia. Anyway, I was pleased to see you start with natural light and that you will progress to assorted complementary light sources. That will be important for your "students" to see. You will have a great time and they will be the better for it. People always remember some tidbit from teachers, and many from the good ones, which you are. Thanks for the blog. I have always been fond of the image of Juma Archuleta. Enjoy your teaching and please keep us all posted!Blacks Crossinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483302254621005349noreply@blogger.com
