There is an organization here in Washington D.C. called the Sitar Arts Center that teaches arts to low income kids. I want to teach a photo workshop there, but they cannot allow kids to take the cameras they have there home.
Last year I responded to a similar appeal and donated an older P&S to someone else for the same purpose. I am asking you all if you have an older digital P&S you could donate so I can teach these kids the right way. I want them to be able to take the cameras home so they can shoot between classes and explore the subjects they want to shoot without the restriction of shooting only during the Saturday morning class session. Megapixel count is irrelevant for this purpose. I ask only that you contribute a camera in good working order with a memory card in it.
We all came to photography for different reasons. It would be a "mitzvah" - a blessing, to the kids that are interested in learning photography if we could help them out.
Please email me directly at [email protected] for instructions about sending a camera. If you want me to call you to explain the program, send me your phone number.
Come on everyone - it's for the kids.
