Adventures in Philadelphia&Baltimore- Days 3-5

Unfortunately the next three days, were pretty intense work days, preparing for and giving presentations. I spent Monday hunkered down at Ted & Corita's alternating between the backyard and super awesome old timey desk in my room.

On Tuesday, I left Philly early and headed to Baltimore to talk to Nate Larson's photo class at MICA.  I got there a little so early so he set up a work station for me in his office and then we had lunch with students and some other faculty.

See you later, Philly!

On Wednesday, I went out to College Park / UMD to meet with the panelists and organizers of my talks.  I spent the afternoon in the student union working - and was amazed that corporate america had infiltrated with chain restaurants and Starbucks.  When I got back, Nate took me to dinner with a fellow photographer and a great little restaurant in the neighborhood.
