Award Winning photographer Ed Ou, who was selected for this year's
Joop Swart Masterclass, tells about his experience on the
New York Times Lens Blog.
"“Persistence” is the theme of this year’s class; a week of edits,discussions, workshops and growth. It has offered me a break from myindependent, chaotic and pretty lonely life as a working photographer.I’m always insecure: am I doing the right thing in the right place, ordid I miss having a real life? Just seeing everyone else’s energy hasgiven us all the resolve and energy to keep doing what we do. "
