teaching photography

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2020.07.27

The Girl has taught me something about teaching photography, as she learns. While I was pleased that she's learned how f-stops work, and how different lenses work, and about taking videos, it was her that taught me that I had to remember to mention things such as turning a camera on its side for a different type of view.

She's taken to using the strap on the camera very nicely, and uses a camera bag well. She handles the (expensive for us) gear with respect, and is interested in photo editing.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

—Siddhārtha Gautama (The Buddha)
