I can not get enough of the National Geographic website! The more that I look and explore this site the more I want to be a photographer! My teacher knows how much I love this site, so she suggested I pick a photo shoot that I am really drawn to and go and try to take photos that would fit into the slideshow for that shoot. Awesome idea - and this weekend I have plans to go out and take pictures of wildlife. Here is a screen shot from the site where regular people can submit their own pictures so I really hope that I will get some great shots that I can submit!
My teacher has also suggested that I come up with my own photo shoot and write a story to match and then send it to both the National Geographic site and the CBC Generation Why online magazine. I am feeling very inspired! My teacher will help me to choose my best pictures, and the local photographer - Mike -has also agreed to have a look at the ones I choose. They have both said my submissions will be my decision - but it is really nice to have other input on my images! Very excited to start this project! I know this is a school project but it feels like I am really training to become a professional photographer - it seems like real world experience!!
