We are home, safe and sound and really sore. We averaged 16,000-17,000 steps every day. We left early and stayed out late. Edited our images into the wee hours and were up early, cheerful every morning, ok so that's a bit of a stretch.

The NYC trip was full of unique and challenging life experiences that we will take with us as we move on into our professional lives.
Today we left it up to our students to pick the images by supplying us with one of their favourite photographs from our trip. So here is the Best from our Best.

This picture was taken while in Highline Park, it’s my favorite
because it is the most colorful and vibrant depiction of what New York City is.
NYC is a busy, colorful, entertainingly beautiful city, full of art, high
rises, people, and greenery, just like this photograph.

This is Jodi Tamminga favourite photo because "it captures an aspect of
New York that we don't see too often. We always see photos of all the main
tourist attractions, but never of the simple little things that happen. This
photo captures a simple moment, that many people can relate to."

This is a Photo by Devon
Groombridge and is her Favorite from the entire trip because "I captured it
just before the storm hit while on the Brooklyn Bridge. It makes the viewer feel
as if they were in the image."

This is Kendal Turner’s favorite photo because of the overuse of lines
all over the image. She loves the repetition in the photo and how your eyes
follow the staircase.

This is not my favorite photo, but a close runner up. My favorite photo was inappropriate for the blog. I like this photo because it fills the frame and immerses the viewer in the urban metropolis that is New York City. ( Dave Beaton / Lambton College)

Feltz, it is favorite photo because of the way the light is shining on the

This is Neko Guo’s most favorite of
the trip because she likes the contrast between the yellow taxi and the sign. Photo taken
in New York City of a yellow taxi, with a Broadway musical advertisement for
Aladdin. (Neko

I picked this photo as one of my favourites because of how the little boys face is framed in the bubble and when I was watching him play in Central Park he was so happy. This photo brings me back to the moment. Little boy chasing the bubbles in Central Park, New York, October 11, 2015 (Sidney Fletcher, Digital Photography)

I really enjoy this picture because of how much it can hit home to someone.
When I look at this picture I think of how hard it must be losing someone, it actually reminds me of my grandfather and how his sprit lives on.
This image shows only one candle lit, and that one candle shows much impact. ( Victoria Zoldy / Lambton College )

I like this one because it is so simple and the contrast / dynamic tonal range, is very dramatic. I looked up one day and there it was! The photo is also balanced with the 3 buildings so your eye wanders in a circle. ( Emily Hussey / Lambton College)
