Full Circle

A circle can have many interpretations. A form without beginning or end. It rolls with the flow. The circle can signify oneness, wholeness and sometimes completion. To the Photo 'Graphic' Arts group coming full circle this week means revisiting the day when they all came together for the first time at Studio C. The group is invited to sit in a circle as they did in April for the introduction of the project. For the last time the Courage Lion is tossed amongst the participants to inspire each one to share with the group the lessons, views and memories of the last 12 weeks. The disclosure of the experience reveals how truly invaluable this project is to the entire group. Self-expression, collaboration, and future opportunities are all highlights. Also celebrated is the love and passion for photography that bonds the Photo 'Graphic' Arts team. Later in pairs the participants conduct video interviews on the topics mentioned above. What manifests is the magnitude of impact this project has made on the group. In the words of one of the mentoring photographers: " ...it has been the sunshine in my week."
