The South Bronx, NY, is a neighborhood filled with concrete, debris, and poverty. Nevertheless, my students approached me with the idea of a photography club. When I asked them what they would take photos of, they replied, "the beauty of the neighborhood around us." It occurred to me that perspective is everything. These students didn't see the economic despair, lack of funding, or lack of scenery. They wanted to share their environment with the world, so everyone could see it through their eyes. A camera would change their lives, but they want to change your perspective.
