Seth's February Travels

2009-02-28T08:35:00.000-08:00

Hi All!
Just back from my month of travels in February. I spent a week each in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and backpacking in Torres del Paine in Southern Chile. I'm really excited to finally start the semester this week. I unfortunately didn't bring my DSLR to Buenos Aires but here are my favorites from Rio and Torres. All the pictures are on my facebook and most are on my flickr which is www.flickr.com/photos/sethdcaplan

Cheers!

So a big part of this semester's coursework is putting up our unfortunate high school dance pictures in the hallway. So you don't feel left out Seth, here is my awkwardness, circa 2004. Yes that dress does have a cut out.

P.S. We miss you.

Stan and Junior majors with nude model

Class today was lighting and 4x5 with the nude, it was a little crazy with everyone shooting everything from digital, to Hasselblads to the 4x5, but the model was a pro and took it all in stride.

Seth in Santiago: Copper Mines

2009-01-22T13:28:00.000-08:00

Hello lovely people. Santiago is pretty great so far. We went to these copper mines South of Santiago last weekend called El Teniente. It's the largest subterranean mine in the world. Copper mining is a really importat part of Chilean history. We took a tour inside the mine, and in the now abandonded village of Sewell where the North American employees lived in the 1920s-60s up until the nationalization of the mines when the North American companies were kicked out the country. The town was really interesting, all these abandonded buildings in with some Art Deco touches, but with the Andes as a background.
