Jessica Tezak, a senior from Joliet studying photojournalism, conducts an interview with Gayle Ayala Saturday during the South of 64 Weekend Workshop in Chester. Professional photographers and photojournalists acted as mentors to the students, who spent the weekend documenting the Chester community and surrounding areas. The professionals shared their experiences and expertise, critiqued  students’ photos and went out to photograph with them throughout the weekend.
