Calling All Photography & History Lovers!
Over the course of three classes, history will come to life through the camera as students dive into photographs from the Weston History & Culture Center archives and uncover the stories they tell. Students will also have the opportunity to become the storyteller themselves. They’ll learn how to capture powerful images that express their own unique perspectives of the world around them. Whether you have a budding photographer, a history buff, or both, this hands-on journey will inspire them to see photography in a new light.
No prior experience is required. Bring a camera or smartphone to capture photos. Please let us know if you don’t have one and we will provide one to share.
Taught by Kira Joshi and Samantha Fargione, Executive Director.
