Dear  Elisabeth,


Thank you for taking the time to meet and talk with me and my students at Tregoning Gallery. We had a wonderful time. I wanted to share what the students said. These quotes were collated by our class reporter, Jesus.

ā€œI have also been to Africa before, but I didnā€™t experience Africa they way she [Elisabeth Sunday] didā€                                                -Nina Lester

ā€œI would like to say thank you . . .  to have the opportunity to experience a real life photographer, to increase knowledge from a different background and outlook, but the same love for photographyā€                                                 -Jennifer Lloyd

ā€œIt really inspired me to be more careful and sensitive about lightā€
                                                                                        -Raymon Pointer

ā€œElisabeth Sundayā€™s dedication has inspired me to remain focused and show my passion towards my workā€

ā€œExtremely beautiful, interesting, and showed such intricate energy, narrating the stories of the models she capturedā€                                            -Myesha Gardner

ā€œElisabeth Sundayā€™s worked really moved me. I was inspired, and spent hours photographing and editing Elisabeth Sunday styled picturesā€    
                                                                                         -Jodeci Stewart

ā€œYour work [referring to Elisabeth Sunday] really got me back inspired to photography. It made me want to take my talents to another levelā€
ā€œMake photo not just my career, but my life!ā€               -James Gossett

ā€œThe field trip changed me by showing me that there is different ways to take pictures, and you donā€™t always have to do it the traditional wayā€
                                                                                         -Marcus Wynn


ā€œShe [Elszabeth Sunday] gave me a different outlook on the people of Africa. We always see the ā€œrundownā€ version of them, but with her work, we see the natural beauty of our peersā€                                                                             -Pierra Heard

ā€œElisabeth Sundayā€™s gallery shown me the wonders of working with mirrorsā€
ā€œSome simple things in oneā€™s life could be so fascinatingā€
                                                                                      -Taenyshia Blas

ā€œElisabeth Sunday is a unique, brave photographerā€
ā€œShe inspired me to carry 2-3 extra of EVERYTHING. This is importantā€
                                                                                       -Tylor Roseberry

ā€œShe [Elisabeth Sunday] only uses film cameras, no digital. This inspired me to use film; Seeing how beautiful her pictures came out, I hope mine will come out as goodā€
                                                                                        -Dyanna Washington

ā€œElisabeth Sunday photography revealed that photography is more than capturing pictures in a moment in time. Itā€™s showing how you can incorporate culture, fashion, and life into one photoā€                                                -Richelle Lewis

ā€œHer [Elisabeth Sunday] pictures were pretty amazing and beautifulā€
                                                                                       -Samantha Cruz

ā€œI thought that it was very intriguing the way the images were extended in length by a mirrorā€                                                                              -Daunte Chapman


            And as you have read, everyone has taken a different experience from the gallery. We, as a class, were very grateful to have this opportunity. And hopefully, we will be able to have Ms. Sunday, herself come to the school, and share some more of her experiences with us. Again, thank you for the opportunity and I hope you can see the art gallery has opened many things for all of us.

                                                                                             Sincerely,  
                                                                                             Jesus Baldrich
                                                                                             Class Reporter

                                                                                             Warm Regards,
