Kids With Cameras
Spring 2012 brought the second round of Volcan Mountain Foundation's collaborative “Kids with Cameras” program to Julian students! Thanks to the teamwork of Jeff Holt, Tricia Elisara, and others, fourteen youngsters spent six weeks learning how to produce beautiful photographs. Contributing photographers Bill Bevill, Bill Benson, Anne Garcia, and David Pierce, taught the students how to use pictorial space, the manual controls of a camera, light and environmental portraiture and how to compose an outstanding photograph. The class concluded with a trip up Volcan Mountain where the kids experienced taking photographs of breath taking vistas at five thousand feet. They also felt forty mile an hour winds! The students' work was on exhibit at the Julian Library in May and June. E-mail Jeff Holt for more information on our next workshop. Photo Credit: Jeff Holt
