My students often do not even get the experience of taking a picture that isn't grainy from low resolution or blurry due to a delay in the capture of an image. Many people assume that all teenagers have a smartphone in their hand, but most kids in a rural community do not have family incomes that can support those kinds of luxuries. They have yet to experience the magic of capturing the beauty that surrounds them in a way that deeply reflect that beauty instead of only being reminiscent of it.
