On Thursday evening, I had the pleasure of hosting the meeting for Girl Scout Troop 148.  This troop meets at St. Anne’s – the very place my daughter, Megan, went to Brownies about two decades ago.  The leader,  Jennifer Cramer, contacted me about a month ago and inquired about the possibility of having me speak to the troop about photography.  It sounded like fun to me – so I was in.  But instead of going to St. Anne’s, I had them come to my home so I would have plenty of pictures and my computer available.  The girls were very attentive and well-behaved.   I spent time telling them about the differences between film and digital cameras, the proper care of cameras, and how to take, download and edit images.  We spent quite a bit of time discussing composition so that they can go out and take their own pictures to earn their merit badge.

Here is Troop 148!

I’m not sure what they enjoyed most . . . looking at before and after pictures or the pizza I fed them for dinner.  To be honest, it was probably the pizza.  I just hope they enjoyed the meeting as much as I did.
