I love photography. These are some great resources. I remember the summer there was a big fire downtown and my son spent the summer documenting the fire, the removal of the buildings, and the clean up of the lot.
Oh wow – that would be quite the photography experience!
Those are some great resources! Before I teach my kids I would probably have to learn some myself! My idea of photography is grabbing my iPhone and shooting a couple of pictures. I’m not a talented photographer at all! But my brother is a photographer-nature photography. I love his beautiful photos!
Thanks for all of those wonderful resources!! I always have my camera with me. I have never had any formal photographic training, just a mom who loves to have a photo journal of our homeschool experience. 🙂 My kids each have their own camera, too. I love to encourage them to record their memories.
