In this ongoing class we will be exploring the camera's available on our phones, as well as different apps to edit your photos.

Each week we'll begin class by sharing submitted photos either based on a theme given during the last class, or any photo you're proud of that you'd like to share . 
I'll be sharing them on my screen as we discuss things like composition, light, theme, etc. 

I'll occasionally share the screen from my phone to show live editing demonstrations.

We'll finish the class by discussing the theme for the coming week, we'll look at examples of the theme in photo's from different photographers and we'll address any questions related to that theme.

Week of December 7: Light
Week of December 14: Shadow
Week of December 21: Texture
Week of December 28: Movement
Week of January 4: Reflections
Week of January 11: Abstraction

I find that photography is a mindfulness practice for me. It helps me to connect in a deeper way to nature and the world around me.  Rather than being disconnected through the screen I find I pay more attention to what's happening in front of me, I see more details, I find a quietness inside as I observe more closely.  Photography is also a great way to express your creativity, seeing things in different ways than you might otherwise.
