Back in the olden days, photos were made of light reacting with chemicals. You couldn’t see them instantly but had to wait for them to be developed in a laboratory. Join this project and you will be loaned an old 35mm film camera that has been donated by someone from the community. Lee Grant will teach you about film photography as art and as journalism and abut how to tell a story with your photos. Finish the year by exhibiting your photos in the SNAP! Exhibition at Belconnen Gallery. (Thanks to Photoaccess and The Riotact for help with collecting donated cameras)

SNAP is an initiative of Belconnen Community Service’s Community Development Program.
