The goal of our photography class is to have fun while communicating through story telling using the medium of still photography.    This class will teach how to create beautiful pictures and use them to tell a story. Each student will expand their talents while using cell phones or any kind of digital camera. Learning how to frame a shot, light it and organize their thoughts using still images of people, places and things.

Simple Software will be an exploration of a variety of software apps.
Turning our attentions to the people in our lives will be the

2nd assignment. 
The final project will be a contest and a chance to have their work seen on display in the community
This is a very exciting class of visual communications and story telling using the technology each student already possess.
