Unique…being taught at school; New Orleans Photographer

Every few months, I get a call from a national company to do some freelance work.  Basically, I go to a school that has hired them to design a new website.  My job is to go and explore the school both inside and outside, and document it via my photography.  I love getting these calls because it means I get to see all the creative things going on at the school.  Right before the holidays, I got the call and headed out to a New Orleans Charter School.  Although my guide told me how they are over-crowded and have had to deal with buchet cuts, I know the kids will do well because they are being taught the importance of being themselves.  With just the help of paint, construction paper, scissors and pastels, these children have been able to display their remarkable creativity.  This is why I love being a photographer!  Just look at how each face is different and each Santa is unique.  I remember always having to make my work look like the sample the teacher showed us….I think that this is a new way of teaching art, and I like it!
