Getting spectacular photos there is pretty much “f2.8 and be there”.

I was going to stick to my guns and not actually take any photos while I was teaching but I ended up snapping about ten because it felt foolish not to grab something that was right there. This is model Roxana Hire, shot with a Leica M9 and a 35mm 1.7 while waiting for the students to get their lights set up.
