I Taught Photography at Summer Camp

Behold the work of my protegés.

A few years ago I spent a couple of summers working at a summer camp way, way out in the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire. My main job was to teach kids all about photography.

As anyone who has ever seen a photo I've taken will 100 percent believe, I know nothing about photography, and am definitely not qualified to teach kids about it. As such, most of my "classes" involved totally ignoring the darkroom that I had, responding to any questions with "can anyone in the class answer this question?" and walking around camp with the kids while they took photos of stuff on digital cameras and explained to me who Jesse McCartney is (girls' classes) or what a "dirty pirate" is (boys' classes). Here are some of the photos they took.
