Philippe Halsman and photographs of verbs

Photo class students have started summer session!! The first week we learned about photographer Philippe Halsman. Halsman thought that "When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears." The youth photographed jumps, whispers, runs and all kinds of verbs. Congratulations to Micala who counted almost 50 verbs in the class's images!
