Dunno. Didn't think to ask. ;^)

Just for context, take a look at www.nicolasguevara.com. Guevara graduated
from that high school in the spring and is now a freshman photography major at
New York University. Note particularly his "Faces" gallery - pictures he took
of other students a couple of years ago. I haven't seen any of my colleague's
daughter's work, but I think it's fair to say that she has a tough act to
follow.


I see what you mean. He is not afraid to explore high key in areas where
it is not in fashion to do so. But creative young people are like that.

Fine art photography is a tough field. I wish those kids the best.
