My Project

This project will help provide an essential need in order to use all of the equipment in our classroom: Tripods. We are very lucky to have a variety of professional grade equipment, which we create student films and a student news broadcast. We were lucky to receive much of our equipment through a grant years ago, but unfortunately, our tripods have seen better days.

The purchase of professional grade tripods will not only help keep our equipment stable and safe, it will also teach my students how to use equipment they would see in the fields of photography and film.

Please consider helping my students take their photography skills to the next level while helping to protect our equipment, make better films, and take better photographs.
