Day 11: On the Fringe

In describing Edinburgh to my friends, I’ve described it as “something out a storybook.” If you think of a old time town that’s extremely picturesque, you’re probably thinking of Edinburgh. […]

More magic was made today along with many photos. The day started off at two lectures. One lecture was with David Anderson. David is a Scottish commercial photographer who mainly works with portraiture. However, he did not talk about his portraiture. He focused on an alcohol project he did for Shackleton. His photography is aesthetically […]
