iPods are great.
Chloe Bashian is about to embark on a trip that will most likely be a once in a lifetime experience.: the photo trip to Italy.
This type of trip is completely new to Bashian. “I have never left the country,” she said. She will be spending ten days exploring “the Boot” with friends and peers, as will as Ms. Ciluffo and Mr. Johnson.
Bashian is going on the trip because of photography; however, anybody who participates in any of the art classes is eligible to go. “I love photography” she said, “when Mr. Johnson told us about the trip I really wanted to go.”
The group leaves Thursday, February 13 which means, unfortunately, Bashian has to turn in her Junior Thesis a day early. She does not seem concerned, “it will be such a great opportunity” she said.
A trip to Italy is thrilling; however, Bashian is also excited for the photography aspect of it. “I am really passionate about photo,” she said “I think I’m equally excited for both the photography and the travel aspect of it.”
Bashian has been involved in photo since eighth grade but did not develop a real passion for it until her freshman year. Since then, she has worked her way through the intermediate course and now participates in advanced class. “You can create your own perspective on something,” Bashian said when describing her love for the art. “I’m not the best at drawing so photo lets me show my artistic ability.”
In terms of the trip, Bashian showed excitement. “We are traveling a lot” she said, almost hesitantly, for fear of worn out feet. Overall, Bashian, as well as many of her peers seemed thrilled for their trip to Italy. It combines art with a travel experience that will be one of the most memorable for many.
PS-interview coming soon….after technical difficulties are sorted out.
