On April 28th, I had the pleasure of assisting the Pritchard 4-H Club's photography members in yet another workshop!
I had previously worked with the Pritchard 4-H Club in 2017, getting the kids ready for their upcoming 4-H shows during the summer months. Being asked to be a repeat speaker for the club was a great way to not only give back to a program I hold dear to my heart, but to watch as the kids' skills had developed and grown. From upgrading their camera equipment, to remembering all the tips, tricks, and photo-jargon I'd taught them and generally being more confident in their own ability, I was truly impressed! Photography is a great way to get youth to learn to express themselves and explore their creativity. It's fun to watch them as they snap pictures and allow themselves to be free of any "if's, and's or but's" that adults often suffer from when getting creative. If you're interested in learning more about 4-H in BC, I would highly recommend reaching out to your local 4-H district and or the 4-H Office in Vernon. If you are a 4-H leader looking to have someone come speak at your next 4-H event on photography, communications or an agricultural topic (ranging from plant to livestock production) please do not hesitate to reach out to me @ [email protected]. Thanks again to Pritchard 4-H Club for having me out, and all the best to the 4-H'ers as they continue to get creative!

That was a great news! I hope that you will be able to host the event happy and fulfilling one. Having to see the kids being interested in what they do is such a fulfilling feeling to us parents, teachers, instructors and many more. I hope that those kids will continue to pursue their dreams and share the knowledge they have got to the said event. Please continue to be role models for young generations. Thank you so much for sharing this good news.

I agree with you. It is a good thing that there would be free trials for those who are interested in photography. Many people nowadays tend to love the idea of photography but tend to not express it due to financial problems. Some of them cannot afford to have cameras that can support their talents and skill. I have once experieced going into young group of people who really love the art of photography and they were happy to know that there are still some who offers tutorial about photography.
