National Geographic’s photographer, Jay Dickman, was recently in Costa Rica and took some time out to spend with local photographers. Jay Dickman was accompanied by two National Geographic editors during his trip to Costa Rica.
Mr. Dickman, also know for winning the Pulitzer Prize as well as a number of other awards, carried out a workshop at the Earth University grounds with a total of 18 young adults.
For almost 4 days, Jay and the students covered the grounds of the Earth University as well as Siquirres and Pocora and took over 12,000 photographs. From the 12,000 photographs, the group along with Jay chose 160 photographs to be displayed as the best ones from the bunch.
High school students from the areas of Siquirres and Pococi were thrilled to be able to spend time and learn from people who represent one of the world’s most respected and devoted organization as is the National Geographic Organization.
In just one week, advanced photography students as well as amateurs, were able to learn how to see the world from a different view. For the local Siquirres students, the experience was a dream come true and something they will never forget.
