Next week, I’m leading a week-long photography expedition with middle school students at Elm City College Prep. I didn’t start taking pictures until about six years ago, so teaching photography to students that young is very exciting for me. The impact that photography can have on them is unlimited. I also love being able to re-calibrate my eyes to interpret the world as kids do. We have a lot of fun and learning scheduled for next week including a bus trip to the Lighthouse, a photo-walk through Edgewood Park, and a guided tour at the Yale University Art Gallery. Be on the lookout for student guest photographers here on ILNH soon!
Last week I lead a mini-expedition for the teachers at the school. Here are some of the photos:
