We can’t help ourselves, we love photography. The only thing we love more is educating people about photography. The Rocky Mountain School of Photography (RMSP) blog provides information, inspiration and community.
Why Paper Airplanes for Rocky Mountain School of Photography’s Blog??
We hoped you’d ask! As anyone who has been through our Summer Intensive program might have already guessed, we snagged the name from the last assignment our students complete during graduation every summer. The brainchild of Marie Osborne, our Career Training Program Director, it goes something like this:
- Each student receives a blank piece of colored paper.
- He or she writes a single word or phrase on the paper that captures their aspirations, visions for their future, hopes for success in photography—you get the idea.
- Step by step, Forest Chaput de Saintonge (son of RMSP owners Neil and Jeanne) walks them through the process of folding the paper into an airplane.
- The results are as varied, unique and personal as the students themselves.
- On Marie’s call, the group launches their planes– dreams, hopes, aspirations– into flight.
For us, the process mimics the overall RMSP experience. When you decide it’s time to take flight, we help you build your aircraft and prepare you to launch your dreams. The sky’s the limit.
And then we clean up a room full of paper airplanes.
