Exit Interview. November 2021. 

For my last day at MB, I reached out to one of my babies, @gabeharrisproductions, and asked if he’d be kind enough to make a few portraits when classes wrapped up that day. 

He graciously accepted, somewhat surprised that, after a few ups and downs in class, I would reach out to him. I made it clear that getting on the same page in the classroom (which we had by year’s end) had nothing to do with my confidence in his talent as a photographer. We’d often discussed our passion for the craft after class and, since last year, I’ve seen his work continue to improve. 

So, we busted out a few choice boppers and set about making images. He directed me well, asking good questions and putting me through my paces as a subject. About halfway through, the homie/mentor Jennifer swung by to say farewell and we shared a few nice moments reflecting on the long, strange trip it had been. I’m glad we got to share that time; without Jennifer’s belief, I wouldn’t have been at MB at all.

The last few shots Gabe and I made were in the doorway of my classroom as the daylight faded and night approached. 

To be able to round out my time at MB with a kid rising to the occasion in Gifford 10 seems just right.
