Photography comes from two words - “photo” meaning light and “graph” meaning to write, literally translating into the delightful phrase:

To write with light.

There has always been interest in being the subject of a photograph. The children love to see themselves and their work represented in such a tangible manner. However, it’s power reaches far beyond classroom documentation. It is the art of observation. A picture is a moment captured. One the children can hold in their hands. For some, the interest in pictures has spread from not only being in the photos but to becoming the captors to freeze time.
