Photography Merit Badge

Canon 40D * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 100 * 1/320 seconds * f/4.0

I was asked recently to work with 10 boys to help them earn their photography merit badge.  I’ve always looked up to the boy scout program, I received my Eagle on my 13th birthday and am grateful for that opportunity.  After spending about 40 minutes with the scouts about the techniques of photography they chose a project and off they went.  About a week later I caught up with two of the boys and found they hadn’t worked on their project.  I invited them to go on a photowalk with me to the Ogden Utah Union Station.

They had such a great time they are wanting to do another photowalk.  My first photowalk was with Thomas Hawk in San Francisco.  I really like getting out for photowalks, it’s a great way to improve your skills and just have fun.  I’ve included a few of my favorites from the walk, check out the full gallery here

    How awesome is that! Instead of criticizing them for procrastinating, you shared the love and opened a door for them. Even if they never take another photo, what a great life lesson. It’s amazing all the ways we can help people with photography, if we are willing.

    Great stuff, man. Always nice to see the work of a peer. You should add buttons to the bottom of your posts to digg, stumble, etc your content.-Tom
