NICE is where the heart is

Bonsoir, tout le monde! Please forgive our late start on the blog upkeep. Trying to maintain technological projects in France has once again proven difficult! But here we are, already beginning our third week together (can you believe it?), so we will do our best to catch you up on our first two weeks of fun. This first photo was taken with the help of some of our students and our photography and art teachers one evening on the beach. The effect is created by keeping a camera shutter open for 30 seconds and moving light sources (flight lights, cell phones, iPods, etc) in a pattern for the duration of the 30 seconds. The results are fantastic! And the message - N i c e <3 - is the sentiment we hope our students carry in their hearts for the duration of the program, and for many, many years to come.
