Photography Teachers: 8 Infographics for Your Classrooms

Not many of you know that photography has been a hobby of mine since high school. Students today have the ease of working without chemicals in a darkroom or paying to have film processed. (I'm jealous.) Today I came across some wonderful infographics for photography teachers to hang in their classrooms. They are all visually beautiful and can act as guides for your students. I made sure to download only high resolution graphics so enlarging them will be clear and unpixelated. Thank you to all the credited creators of these works!

School Newspaper Advisers: 17 Websites For Student Photographers

 It's tough to find really committed student photographers. I'm talking about the ones who are always there and ready for any assignment that comes their way. They also need a good camera, preferably a DSLR which they can use to capture sports, whether it is indoors or outdoors. I was fortunate this year to have an awesome photography editor, a young lady who manages to do well in all her classes, run on the track team AND keep after her staff of five photographers. If you are the newspaper adviser in your school, it is very important that your photographers know how to take pictures.

I've Been Chosen to Lead a Photowalk!

I'm excited to announce that I have been chosen to be a leader for Photowalk 2011! I've loved photography since high school and have been able to teach it to the students who are taking photos for the school newspaper. If you live in New Jersey and would like to join us, the walk (it's FREE, by the way) will start at 1 p.m. and end at 3 p.m. We will then meet in a local restaurant in Ridgewood (to be decided) to share photos. This is a worldwide event and will be a blast. Sign up here. Hope to see you in October!
