Every year, PrairieView Diploma Students make the short drive to Grand Prix Amusements for the first on-location shooting assignment. This year, the weather was great, the cars were quick, and students were ready with their cameras to capture the action!

Safety first. 

And yes, even PrairieView Diploma Programs Director Paolo Porquez took a lap around the track.
