Photography
- How to improve your photographs Do your shots lack appeal? Style? A point of view? Could you use a few pointers on photo composition? Bring your camera, your pictures and questions. I'll analyze your shooting technique and pictures and make some suggestions. We can even take a quick photo "field trip" around the neighborhood or to a nearby park. |

Paste paper is a term used to describe a technique of decorating paper using a clear paste to which a pigment has been added. Using a variety of common tools, patterns are made on the surface of the colored paper |
