Thanks to the generous spirit of some friends and family (and family and friends of friends) I was able to bring 12 digital cameras to College MLK to start up a photo club. This was a real treat. For everyone involved.
The students were excited to get started. We talked a little bit about photography as a career skill- about some different career paths where it could come in handy, and a little about composition and lighting.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the sixieme- sixth grade. Enjoy.

These are lovely. Keeps things in perspective for me... the world is bigger than the two-county geography that I haunt. A necessary reminder.
