Photo Camp in Uganda

I saw an interesting exhibit at the National Geographic's Explorer's Hall.
It was called Photo Camp Uganda 2006. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/museum/exhibitions/uganda-photo-camp.html.


The exhibit is a collection of photos made by children living in a refugee camp in Uganda. The children learn how to use digital cameras, how to compose a good picture-- and most importantly how to see the world and their surroundings in new ways.

It gives a sense of hope and a sense of perspective to capture their world through the objectifying and sometimes beautifying lens of the camera.

If you go to the link below you will be able to learn moro about photo camp and see some of the wonderful work done by the children.
