Photography - Tuesday, Period Six [WS #1]
As students arrived at the main campfire, they would see a picnic table full of cameras, various lenses and, of course, film.
"Good Afternoon," Veronica greeted once they had all arrived. "For those of you who don't me, I'm Veronica Mars. I graduated from Fandom High back in 2006 and will be starting my senior year at UCLA in the fall. Photography has been a professional hobby for me for about six years now. I starting working for my dad's PI firm during my sophomore year of high school and frequently did stakeouts."
No need to get into the sticky details of why that happened.
"Let's start off with some introductions," she said. "I'd like you all to tell me your name, where and when you're from and why you signed up for this workshop. You start," she said, pointing to a student at random.
Once everyone had introduced themselves, she held up a camera. "This is a camera. No, it's not digital. It uses film. Yes, I realize that's quaint and old fashioned, but even with the digital age, film photography still has a place in society. So the rest of our sessions we'll be meeting up at the school, in the journalism room, because you'll be learning how to develop your own photos. And wear old clothes, those chemicals can stain."
Veronica loved the smell of a darkroom. No one ever said she was normal.
"Everyone grab a camera and a roll of film." Once they did, she walked them through loading the film, setting the aperture and shutter speed, and changing lenses.
"If you guys have any questions or problems during the week, feel free to call my cell or stop by my office," she said. "Your assignment for next week is take photographs that convey happiness. It's entirely up to you how you want to interpret that. Take one of these before you go. It's some tips and tricks for improving your photographs. My contact information is also on there."
