The saws are waiting in the jewelry room- the cameras in the photography classroom. I photographed the box of cameras after Miss E the student teacher lined them up so nicely. They looked so

Hi Ruth, I now have one day a week where I work for the local paper doing reviews of real estate properties. The agents usually provide the photos but last week I was asked to take a camera to a site. It was so big and heavy and complicated. I asked them to show me the on and off buttons and where to ‘click’. Fortunately I didn’t need to take the photos after all. I have decided that my next learning experience will be photography : )
How cool is that. I look forward to seeing what you are learning Rainee. Thanks for your visit to the blog today.
I hope the kids appreciate their wonderful art teachers and tools.
Interesting that your school allows saws; I know some schools will literally expel a kid for even making a gun finger gesture or have a butter knife in their lunch bag. Glad to hear your school isn’t so extreme.
Well they are in a locked room, controlled and supervised but in order to make jewelry you need tools.
That makes sense. I’m glad that the school is taking a reasonable stand, and not letting appropriate tools get in the way of experiences. 🙂
it is nice to see that there are schools that don’t keep kids from trying things
Ruth, does Canon supply the cameras for your students or does the school district purchase them. It seems that supplying cameras and gear to photography students might be a great market tool. If those kids get hooked, eventually they’re going to buy their own gear!
No Canon has not supplied anything. I got ten of the point and shoots by working an after school program and then I got ten more from from the district art department but they are NOT what I asked for. I would have rather had a few better models. The particular powershots take okay photos but the pastic on the lens cover is like a Kleenex. I am going to look into the DONORS CHOOSE program someone suggested. It is frustrating. the upside is that no one wants to steal a camera as their phones take better images! Thanks for writing.
I do hope you get some good cameras for your students. I know that many can do some nice things with their phones but most can’t and the phone will never have as much potential as a DSLR operated properly in the manual mode. Good luck with this!
