This month Laura, Traverse, Kitty, and Peter presented their work.
Laura showed prints from her on-going project, in which she photographs food that reminds one of blood. This month, the images were of close intimate shots using cherry pie filling and red frosting. The consensus was that the photographs utilizing red frosting looked most realistic, while those with the cherry pie filling were more erotic than bloody.

Traverse presented work that he shot while employed as a nanny for two young boys. The images document the children playing and just being kids, which in turn allowed the photographer to vicariously re-live childhood. This month, the group helped Traverse edit down his prolific amount of work.

Kitty has been photographing the
Maine Avenue Fish Market in Washington D.C.. Kitty remarks that this is one of the only places in D.C. where all people, regardless of race and/or ethnicity, can shop together, alongside one another. She is documenting the market before it falls to redevelopment; the land would be razed in order to make way for a development project that would bring condominiums, commercial and retail spaces, as well as hotels.

Peter has begun a project photographing environments that represent and evoke his state of mind. The spaces are in transition, partially in decay and partially in growth, being held together by the human spirit.
