On March 6th, I had the pleasure of giving a photography workshop to 42 elementary students. Each participant received a "Photographer" lanyard before beginning the lesson. Kindergarteners through 5th graders learned about the Rule of Thirds (tic-tac-toe grid), lighting, and "ABCs" of photography. They were able to stage their own photo with the same prop: a stuffed animal of the school mascot, Pete.

Each photographer showed such enthusiasm and creativity when setting up Pete for the photo. A mini polaroid printer printed a 2x3 photo of each student's image-they chose b/w or color print. After mounting them on card stock, each image was hung on a string display for discussion before taking them home.

Thanks to the teachers and volunteers who helped with the workshop. Check out the photos that were captured by these creative minds.
