Children and Photography
I've been having a lot of fun with an after-school photography club for elementary students. As many of you know, children love to be behind the camera as much as in front of the camera! With the low costs of digital cameras today, there is no better time to allow children to explore their creativity behind a camera. I can't think of a more immediate, no-mess form of art for your children. A side benefit is each photograph not only tells a story about the event or person captured, it tells a story about the photographer, providing a little more insight into your child and what is important to them at the moment. I'm trying to put together some outtings for children between the ages of 8-11, if you think your child may be interested, let me know and I'll put a group together. I envision three 1 hour outings for photographing and discussion and one 1 hour get together to review the developed photos. I'm estimating the cost at $50/child for all 4 sessions.
