Quick update from Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose

Hello,

Just a quick update as we move along with our project. Youth from our middle school have taken thousdans of pictures with our digital SLRs. For each picture they take, they are required to document a brief description of what the picture is and why they chose to take it. Now we are going to move into a critical discussion of their photos, both from a stylistic perspective as well as content-specific.

In our program we spend a lot of time learning about economic disparities in our city and county and spend time volunteering in community-based organization such as Sacred Heart Community Service and Emergency Housing Consortium that serve those in need. Our project for 01 will combine what they have learned through these experiences as well as the photography skills and visual arts skills they have learned so far this year.
