On the very last day of my 3 day workshop at the PSD EXPERIENCE, Me and Sarah { my best spud } of Sarah Bozaan Photography headed over to the Oriental Gardens. The reason why were heading that way, was because there was supposed to be a “In Love” Session class held by Marta Locklear. Little did we know { yes because we were late to everything } that it was cancelled! So we wander around the gardens, take in the beauty of the Pagoda, evergreen plants, stones and water. We stayed a while and had fun taking pictures of ourselves, the sunset and just random things around. The rain starts dripping lightly and i suggested we headed back, as we dragged our bags and carried our camera’s we stumble upon a group of students just walking around in the gardens. Yes as usual me and Sarah {my kidney} looked at eachother again, and i knew just by looking at her what was going to happen next…
We introduced ourselves to Marcus Emmanuel, Justin Old, Raeesah Islam and Claire all whom are students from The Governor School for the Arts | Norfolk | VA. As they took a detour from attending RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY (a new music theater piece about life during the Civil War at the Harrison Opera House)
They bumped into us….
