My students and I would like to start a photography class at our high school. However, we are short on cameras and most of the students I teach can't afford to buy their own. This is where you come in! If you choose to support us by helping fund these three cameras, you will be introducing six students to photography each semester for years to come. The cameras will be used in pairs and each pair will discover and explore how cameras work, composition, balance, emphasis, value, narrative photography, and digital storytelling, My hope is that by introducing my students to photography it will spark a love and appreciation of the art form in them that will grow into a fulfilling hobby or maybe even a career.
