Photography Opening

Today was the opening for photography project that Chloe participated in. Well, today was the outside opening the photographs are going to hang in Pomeroy Park for a few weeks. These photographs are actually the copies of the original works as apparently you can't laminate photographs. The original pieces will hang in a hall on the UVM campus in a couple of weeks.

Here she is next to her pictures. She was asked to look through all of her pictures and pick her favorites that showed one like and one dislike for her street. Hers are on the bottom in purple. Her like is a picture of a cat sitting on top of the truck on the guy that lives across the street. Her dislike is a picture of litter.

Photography

Chloe is participating in a photography class. The class is run through UVM. The goal is to match kids who live in the same neighborhoods as the college students with a student on their street. Each person is given a disposable camera and charged with the task of taking pictures of things they like about their street and things that they don't. Chloe was really excited about doing this. I took her to the first class a little over a week ago where she met the other kids and college students who were participating and was given her camera. She needs to turn her camera in tomorrow so the pictures can be developed and ready for her class on Saturday.

We took a nice walk up and down the street today so that she could finish taking pictures.

It was nice to have some sunshine to help her photography along. At next week's class the students and kids will be putting all of their pictures together in some kind of a large group project to be displayed some where public.
