Mirror With a Memory
Fall 2007
Teacher: Mrs. Sandy Beck

"In whatever one does, there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart. There must be time for contemplation, for reflection about the world and the people about one. If one photographs people, it is their inner look that must be revealed."
                                                                                                                                 Henri Cartier-Bresson
