Description: Have you ever wondered what it would look like if the world stood still? This week we’ll experiment with digital photography. We’ll freeze time by looking at both huge and tiny slices of the neighborhood, capturing the most interesting visuals around Wallingford on film. We will be learning, walking about each day in the neighborhood, and making new friends with each other. The week will culminate with a competition photography scavenger hunt and we’ll create a slideshow of your best work to show parents at the end of the last day. Your best photos will also be placed online to show your friends and family. This is an information-filled week wrapped in fun where you’ll explore concepts of movement, people, texture, light and how to tell a story with a picture. You will build confidence and new skills to take creative and interesting photos with your camera.
