i am back!
this week i continue the photography teaching journey by doing a class for 10-12 year olds at an art gallery in south pasadena. today i taught them to shoot fully manual. they all now know how to use aperture, ISO and shutter speed. next we worked on exploration, so i took them on a walk and told them they had to take 5 images of things that inspired them. everyone was finished by the time we walked 10 steps out the door. inspiration is everywhere.
today was essentially 3 hours of 'SHANNON---- LOOK LOOK LOOOK LOOK LOOK!"
these types of days make me happier than i ever thought was possible.
sweet lauren and her smart questions and the things her eyes notice.
i loved today.
