Online Auction

Need to sell something online? Need it to look nice or creative?

Our students can help.

After learning several computer editing techniques to sharpen, crop, and rotate (amongst other things) pictures on computers, we consider ourselves pros at being able to take studio-like photos for still life.

Here are some examples that students worked on in about five minutes.

Happy Summer.

Schools Kill Creativity

Very interesting ideas of education, hindering and promoting creativity within our institutional system.
British jokes aside, these videos raise some interesting scenarios on how we create things, especially as children. My favorite theories include the thought of failure. Enjoy.

We have a pulse!

Thanks to a wonderful donation from a friend in New York, our after-school photography program finally has something to build on.

We've been operating with no budget for the past six months, and have been scrambling to find money for equipment, let alone notebooks for our students to study photography and film. But yesterday, we received a plethora of goodies, including about ten cameras dating from 1909 - 1980s. After we inventory all the items, get owners manual or instruction booklets, we should be off and running with all things non-digital. We even got some chemicals to start our own dark room prints and reals.

It is unselfish donations like these that keep me wanting to teach photography and film to my students. Hopefully, we can post some pictures that we've taken with this equipment in the near future.

We will also be setting up an account on

Parent Movie Series!

Attention all parents!

Next semester, we are starting a brand new series every two weeks during test prep, just for you.

We'll be screening movies (most likely some nice documentaries), enjoying delectable refreshments, and relaxing while your kids learn.

If you are interested, please email me at pa2.asart@gmail.com, or let me know at work if you see me bobbing around.

Thanks!
