After being almost a full semester in my photography class, I decided to join a photography club at Oxbridge. Our first field trip was really fun! We went to a food shelter at a church near CityPlace and volunteered three hours to go and serve food to homeless people around 4:30. It was such a great experience because I met so many new people and had a really great time knowing that I am doing a good deed. The way that we integrated photography into this field trip was that we brought our cameras (provided by Oxbridge) and took pictures of families and children that showed up at the shelter. We planned on editing these pictures and coming back the next week to deliver them to the families.
This was a great idea because we knew that these poor families couldn't afford food, much less family portraits or pictures of their kids. We decided that we would convert all the pictures that we took into black and white, to give it a more professional and intimate look. The pictures turned out really well and the families' faces were absolutely priceless. I would do it again any time.
