If you had told me a year ago I would be helping to teach
photography to elementary school students in Uganda, I would have laughed. But
that's what I've been doing every Thursday afternoon for yearbook club.
Although it's not always entirely kicks and giggles, mostly due to technology
headaches, it has been really fun to see the progression in the kids photos.
They have taken some excellent photos. We started taking pictures of flowers
around campus, mostly just as an exercise in proper focusing. Then we took some
of our best flower pictures and they were turned in to greeting cards and wall
hangings. Last weekend we sold our products at a holiday bazaar, and the kids
are well on their way to earning a nice yearbook camera for the school. And I
discovered that some of our students are very natural little salesmen.
Here are a few of their shots.
