Ridge Elementary School held it's annual Arts Day yesterday. Parents come in and share their talents with the school. I was asked to come in and talk about photography. Since I didn't have much time with each group, I thought it would be fun to talk about studio lighting and then have a photo shoot! They loved it. I brought some fun props and the kids had a ball dressing up and posing with their friends.

I can't wait until next year!

p.s. - turn up the volume!

My kids' school has an annual Arts Day where parents come in and teach their talents to the school body. I was asked to work with the kids in some way with Photography. I thought long and hard and decided to go the fun way and show off studio lights and then have a photo booth for the kids to take pics of each other and have fun. I set up all the equipment in my house tonight to make sure it all worked. It did, my kids had fun and I am now confident I can do two groups of 20 kids on Friday ... I'll post some of the pics after the workshop. Wish me luck.

Here are a couple of my kids helping me test out the equipment.


Yes I know I cut his hands/arms off, but he is so unwilling to work with me for anything lately (hello future teenager) that this was a one shot deal.
