Happy Holidays

Wishing all my readers a Happy Holiday season.  With a two week school vacation only a day away, I'll be blogging again January 3.

Everyone, have a safe New Year!!

NYIP Website

Another educational website I've discovered is the New York Institute of Photography site.  They have articles from professional photographers, sample photos, tips, student photographer profiles, and a myriad of other beneficial material.  It is a great site to explore.

Fundraiser Idea for 2011

I'm always in the market for a great fundraiser idea.  I've been ordering from Christmas Forest for years.  They sell live wreaths, swags, and garlands for the holidays.  The company is based in Washington state, so the products are fresh, well packaged, and unique.

Christmas Forest also works with organizations for fund raising opportunities.  1-800-637-9627

Check out their website:  www.christmasforest.com

Cool Photo Contest

Here is a contest that is cross-curricular for your photographers to enter. 

Photo Physics Contest

Google, high school photography contests, and a plethora of options come up.  This will be something fun for your students to pursue second semester.

Al Neuharth Scholarship Program

Advisers, check this program out for your juniors.  I've had several state winners over the years.  It's a great program.  Free trip, free tour of Washington, and loads of free experience seeing journalism from all angles of the professional world.
