So Mary Ellen Mark loved my work!!! She just kept saying, "This is excellent, really excellent!" We talked a lot about the process, where I want to go with it, but she didn't have one word of criticism, not one. And I learned SO MUCH from her review of everyone's work. I've got pages of quotes and 285 images, but this must suffice for tonight. I am very sleepy and tomorrow I have to get up early because we're all going on a photo shoot at the Ulster County Fair. And now to bed...
