Six students from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, Calif., recently returned from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where they spent five weeks creating photo documentaries about life, culture and politics in that country. The students are Al Cuizon, Antonio Franco, Nick Mantzel, Jacqueline Mata, Brandon Nightingale and David Sowers.

Their exhibit opened Oct. 1 at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara. In addition to the exhibit, the students will produce a book and a CD of their images.
