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.
