This flower is beautiful and it reminds me of the outside. I picked this photo because it reminds me of my mother's name. That's why I like this picture.

This photo makes me happy because every time I take pictures, I feel great.
I choose this background because it shows alot of things we did and all of the books we have at photography class. It makes me feel great!

This is Packy. She is kissing a dog. I took this picture because I notice that not many people will kiss a dog.

In this photo, I think I did a good job of capturing shadows and reflections.
Jasmine is my subject. I noticed that in this frame, I could capture both assignments.
Luna Bella, co-teacher

On this day we were shooting the assignment of shadows and reflections. We talked about shadows on the subject and of the subject. In this photograph, I shot a portrait of myself and my shadow. I was trying to make it all encompassing: myself, my shadow and shadows of myself on me.

Today we had fun! We had to take some wonderful pictures of ourselves and friends. I learned that pictures can show shapes, patterns, friendship, happiness, sadness and more.

I had alot of fun in the Girls Club. I took lots of pictures of everything. Some were wide and funny and even watery. I learned how to take different types of pictures. I enjoyed seeing the pictures that my friend took and mine also. It was a great day. Oh, I forgot, I even took really colorful pictures and with design. I had fun.

Today it was fun because we learned new things. Also we started to meet each other and learn their name by speaking to them. We took pictures of our shadows. We also know that every time that you take a picture you need to get a good background.

Can you guess what this is? That's right, it's a slide. In the first picture, it is part of the slide. It shows how they connect it together. If they didn't do that, it wouldn't be a slide. The second picture is how they put strong glue together. Look how strong the tape is. The third picture is about the holes they designed in it.

This is my friend's bracelet. In this picture the bracelet is on the table. It has no surroundings on it. It is so lonely there. The colors are white, green and red in the middle.
Jasmine

This is me, Jasmine. I am nine now. I am sitting on a table. I am so tired. Books are surrounding me. I love the Girls Club and I like this picture because it is me!
Jasmine

Yo cogi esta foto porque me gusta y se ve bonita. Me gusta porque saca agua y se ve bien bonita sin nadie.
I choose this photo because I like it and it looks pretty. I like it because water is bursting out and it looks pretty without anyone.
Veronica

I picked this photo because Honey is a special friend. She was there when I went camping with Blanca the first time. Honey is a harmless dog. Honey is looking at the chair.
Sidney

Can you guess what this is? It is kind of like a ladder. It is in the playground. Many people go up and down on it. If you don't know what it is, it is a playground ladder.
Justine

This is a picture of a tree in the playground. I like this picture because of the way I framed it. I also like this picture because it has a good background.
Justine

This is a picture of my friend. I choose this picture because it has alot of designs. I like this picture because my friend wears these jeans because they make her happy. That's why she is smiling.
Justine

I throw alot of pictures in the park and different parts so at the end you can guess what it is. I took wierd pictures, funny and silly pictures. I had fun learning how to take pictures. It was so exciting being in the Girls Club.

This June, we began an introductory digital photography class for girls ages

We spent 3 afternoons taking photographs in our neighborhood playground. They all agreed that learning to "SEE" is FUN!
