We recently initiated a "Kids with Cameras-esque" project with an organization known as Peace Games and PS 191, a local elementary school. With the support of eight great Fordham photography students, we taught a small workshop on photography and its various applications. We then gave the children black and white disposable cameras and let them go crazy. Keeping with the philosophy of Peace Games, we asked that they shoot the important things in their lives that remind them of peace. We then developed their photos and walked them through the editing process. The children then picked their favorite photo and wrote about its significance. We now plan to enlarge the photo and, with the attached writing, exhbit the project at Fordham. The project has been a great success so far, and we're hoping that it grows in the years to come. Check out the following link for some action shots of the project. We hope to get the children's photos up soon too!
