Photography Request from Jeffrey

Hello I.C.E. Community,

Amongst the many jobs I do at I.C.E., two very important activities are running the photography program as well as the international trips to Nepal and Malaysia.
I am in the process of trying to develop and advance the quality and depth of these activities.

Some of the things I would like to do are:

  1. Bring in photographers who would be willing to show & tell the work they have done. I am hoping these photographers can show students different “ways of seeing”
    through photography (whether it’d be fashion photography, portrait work, editing
    techniques, landscape photography, etc.). I understand there are a number of parents who are professional photographers and/or involved in the photo-journalism field in other ways and would be willing to volunteer their time to show & tell their work and create a workshop for the students, please contact me. Also, if you know photographers, or those connected with the photo-journalism field, it would be helpful if you could put them in touch with me.

  1. Provide possible studio space, open loft space etc. where myself and my students could, on occasion, practice photography skills outside of the school.

  1. Donate photo equipment materials: these could be point and shoot digital cameras, cell phones with picture taking capabilities (these are really needed – it turns out these are very effective for using with students on the international trips. These phone would be used ONLY for their photo taking capabilities), and film cameras, and, any darkroom
    supplies. Please keep in mind, of course any donated materials must be in good, working
    condition.

Please feel free to contact me through my email address charliepotato@gmail.com or through the school.
