WELCOME ALL PHOTOGRAPHY STUDENTS! This is an exciting new experience in your fine arts education. This is one of those courses that you can only take as an upperclassman here at HHS. Hopefully you will get as much out of this course as I did when I first took photography in High School (YES! they had cameras when I was in High School, believe it or not. Computers were a new concept, but photography was around for a long time prior to my High School experience). I hope that you use this resource to its full potential. This site is filled with all the materials that we have gone over in class, as well as photo albums, and links that we have not seen. These photos and links should help you when you need a little inspiration or a little memory boost. Please feel free to let me know if you feel there is something that I can add to help you out. I am constantly updating this site to fulfill your photography needs. Good luck and have fun!

This is a full year photography class that is designed for the student who wants to have some freedom in deciding what type of photography they want to concentrate on. Students can concentrate on either b+w darkroom photography, digital photography, or a bit of both. The ultimate goal is for the students to have an extensive photo portfolio for college.
