Day 2 Of Learning Photography

Learning photography is like learning a new language. It takes more than one day to complete. On day 2 of learning photography, our mentees went over what they had previously learned. We took a trip outside…while it was drizzling, but a little rain won’t stop us! Each group of 2 got to take a few photos that showed motion and freezing time. It was amazing to see our mentees put all the things they learned to use!

A Trip To ReUse Depot

Don’t you just hate how furniture and building supplies go into landfills? ReUse Depot, a non-profit organization, prevents this from happening by reselling items that would’ve been tossed away (https://reusedepot.org). On day 3 of learning photography, we took a trip to ReUse Depot for the second time. Our mentees got to meet the store cats, look around at all the amazing antiques, and on top of that they got to photograph all of it! Its was an amazing adventure! We can’t wait to come back!

We also learned some history at ReUse Depot…the Firetruck (pictured below) was a World war II Firetruck that was then donated to Maywood. At some point between the years 1943-1980’s this very truck was Maywood’s official Firetruck, meaning it was in our Firehouse! How cool is that?!
