An Evening to Shine

I recently had the pleasure of photographing "An Evening to Shine" at the Durham Performing Arts Center. This annual event is presented by Durham Public Schools & DPS Foundation featuring over 50 schools showcasing their incredible arts programs. What a surprise it was to have the amazingly talented actress and Durham native Lauren E. Banks from one of my favorite shows "Lawmen Bass Reeves", give a word of encouragement to students telling them to follow their dreams and to continue their pursuit of the arts during the event as the students poured their hearts out on stage. What an amazing evening to photograph.
