UKG Photography

Happy Ethiopia Monday! It seems these will sadly end soon since I only have a few more things to write about but today I am very excited to share with you some of my students work! If you weren't aware, while I was in Adama, when I wasn't photographing for Seeds of Africa I was teaching the children photography thanks to a handful of wonderful friends who donated their old digital cameras to me to give the children. So today is all about the UKG (upper kindergarden) class and my favorites of their images. I tried to teach the children some simple composition and maybe you can pick some up in these images but my amharic is, well pretty much nonexistent and they were just starting to learn english - so communicating was a bit challenging and by week two I was just letting the kids go wild with the cameras to I ended up really enjoying the outcome:

Summer in Film

My summer film is in, and now it is time to accept that the chill is in the air and summer is over. As a photographer I try to shoot film often - making myself think about the one frame, instead of taking 10 for that 1. Digital has changed photography and as convenient as it is, specially for the shoots I normally do, there is a part of my that misses film and the challenges it brings. So I try to carry my film camera around with me  and today you will see my summer shots - Starting at my dear friends wedding to a test shoot I did with Alina. I did a film series during my time in Ethiopia, you should check that  post here.
