heavenstar 0 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Last year I started a photography club. It has about 10 residents- which is a good number. The first couple of months, we had professionals come in and show their work and then we would do a slide show of the residents latest photos (we had a theme every month-- black and white, pets, nature, etc). The professional would critique it and give feedback. After the first couple of months, I wasn't able to get any more speakers, and I was left leading the class-- and I am NOT a photographer. I spend a lot of time getting photography tips online-- National Geographic and Kodak has great tips. We spent most of the remaining months just looking at everyone's photos on the projector. It was pretty boring. I tried to do an editing class on the computer, but most were not comfortable enough with the computer to get into uploading and editing- It would have been an 8 hour class instead of 1! At the end of the year, we made calendars and sold them as fundraisers- $5.00 each. We made about $300 and it was really awesome! But, It was sooooo much work for me-- I promised myself never to do that again. Today is our first class of the new year and I am stumped on what to do. We need a focus for the year. Any ideas? I told them to bring their cameras and we would go outside and take pictures (but of course it is raining today, so I guess we will stay inside). I think if I were a photographer, it would be a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
