From now on, I am going to collect and add to this post my Photography Class students group pictures, starting from the very early Class I ran in Shanghai in 2005, 10 years ago! Great memories to share with all participants!
By Franc Peret

In 10 years, I had 750 students in Photography, Advanced Photography and Film making class.
It is an amazing number and I can hardly trust it myself, but my mailing list proved it to me.

My very first Photography class starting in 2005 with Xin Zhang, Anke Kroener, Sabine Gösker, Caroline De Lagasnerie and many others (Thanks to Xin Zhang)

Why being so surprised myself?

I think the pictures I am posting here are going to give you part of the reason.
I am having so much fun to share with great attractive people dedicated to my teaching!

2005 Class: for our outdoor session we all met in a Park in Pudong (picture by Anke).
Intensive training (getting dirty is good for creativity!)for the 2005 Class (picture by Anke).
Sabine Gösker comments: It was our complete class meeting in a compound and then walking along HuangPu in Pudong… and in the afternoon we did our first panning exercises. I remember well the photos I took of Anke running. Too bad I lost them all! (picture by Anke)

I am never going to be tired of teaching and it is such a joy for me that I do not count the time, the effort or the number of students I am teaching to.

My students are coming from different countries (40 different origins so far!), they have also diverse ages, occupations, social ranks, motivations and characters, but they all have something in common: the excitement of learning something new from me.

And I love that!

To start in chronology order, I had to dig deep into my record to get those pictures and few are missing unfortunately, but day after day, I am going to add more pictures of the different classes until I reach the present one. Stay tuned!
