I would just like to officially congratulate a very close friend of mine, Jordana Abisdris. She has just started a well deserved internship with
Sarah Silver in New York City!
I met Donna during my very first class at Columbia College Chicago. It was Foundations of PhotographyI. She introduced herself to me that first day and the rest is history. It wasn't long after that we began exploring the city together embarking on magnificent photo adventures.
Its just so crazy that one day we are in the foundations of photography, just going where the city took us, and dragging our .35mm along for the ride. Now we are on the verge of graduation, ending our schooling, and soon to be starting our careers.
It seems like only yesterday we were young freshman without a care in the world, facing all the promise of success and adventure.

Looking at the work she has produced throughout her collage career and seeing how much her style has grown and developed just astounds me.
This isn't even her most recent work. It continuously gets increasingly better and more sophisticated.
Along with donna being a talented photographer and a great friend she has also been a constant inspiration for me. Most of my best work has been done with her in the studio set up next to me. The two of us constantly bouncing ideas off each other, providing perspective, new ways to look at things, solving problems together, and challenging each other. No matter how different our styles within the same realm of work we do, we both provide each other with support and help.
This girl like me has put in countless hours in the studio working her tail off just to get that one perfect shot, and then many more hours in post-production making that perfect shot flawless. This woman is dedicated and passionate about her work. I do not know anyone more deserving of this great opportunity. I can absolutely not wait to see how well she thrives in this new environment.
Sarah Silver, you could not have picked a more qualified intern.
