Challenge Accepted

Another Year.  Another AMAZING group of student photographers.

At the end of each school term, I find myself a bit melancholy at losing what must be the absolutely best and talented group of students that could exist at Cole.  And then about two weeks into the next school year, I realize that the talent pool is deeper than I ever imagined.

This year is no exception.  My returning students have taken their work to an even higher level . . . and my new students continue to impress me with creativity and vision.

In an effort to push kids out of their comfort zones and better prepare them for assignments and contests, I have decided to implement weekly challenges this year:  A one word theme and a week to create the most creative and technically correct response to the theme.

Here are the top three from the first two challenges:
