The plan for this class is to meet at Cafe Medici at 9am.  The location of this cafe is located at 2222 Guadalupe (across from the Harry Ransom Center).  We’ll meet and discuss Nikki’s story board before heading over to the HRC for 10am where we’ll do a tour of the exhibition “Discovering the Language of Photography: The Gernsheim Collection.”
