Sophie Vranian's photos from NYC

Photo 1: Students Ross Barlow and Tina Von Roedern look closely at the Vietnam War Memorial during the Capstone Semester's trip to Washington DC. Students had some few time between visits to organizations to wander the beautiful parks, visit the monuments and memorials, and view the blooming cherry and magnolia blossoms.

Photo 2: This is student Kayla Wexelberg practicing her poi spinning on the streets of Washington DC during the Capstone semester's field trip to take a look at the cultural hub of the United States. During the trip, students also visited various NGOs and think-tank organizations. Kayla succeeded in capturing the eyes of a few curious onlookers from near-by office buildings.

Photo 3: Student Tina Von Roedern sprays color over the crowd during the Holi/Pagwan celebration in Queens, NY. Tina and Sophie ventured out to Queens from their home in Brooklyn during Capstone semester to participate in the biggest Holi celebration in North America. Hundreds of Indian and Trinidadians came out on the cloudy day to dance in the park to live music and watch traditional dancing, and of course to smear each other with color powder and colored water! Sophie took this photo in one of the brief moments she had her camera out and unprotected.
