The Cooperative Extension
Service this year will introduce
I for the first time the 4-H Pho-
I tography project designed to
teach boys and girls skills in
. communication through pic-
| tures. Perhaps one of the most
I important communication skills
’ a 4-H leader can teach any
youngster today is how to use a
: camera. During the past gen-
i eration recognition of its im-
| portance has crept out of the
1 dark room over, the mound of
baby pictures in the attic, over
' the television set, and into the
i available light of autumn 1968.
|
Today in many instances the
i camera is a basic tool of life--
| like the car, the telephone, the
[ typewriter. Where do you use
j it? Really, that’s not the ques-
| tion. Where can’t you use it?
The 4-H Leader is not a for-
I mal educator and thus not re
quired to teach the three R’s--
that aged element considered
basic in times past to educa
tion. But they can teach photo
graphy, and who can say that
it is not as important. Picture
making predates the three R’s
and their symbolic commun
ication. Early man used a stick
in the dirt instead of a camera.
But the instinct to make a pic
ture communicate was there.
Photography will help 4-H
members communicate with
other people--the number one
task of today. It will also help
them fill the inner need to make
treasured moments as perm
anent as possible.
A big question to new 4-H
Photography leaders, of course,
is: How do you teach photo
graphy to your 4-Hers if you
know little about it yourself:
The National 4-H Photography
Development Committee in co
operation with Eastman Kodak
has developed a complete
course designed to help 4-H
leaders guide the development
of youngsters in a photography
project from elementary pic
ture taking through advanced
photography--a stage where
skills and interests might lead
them to explore career oppor
tunities. There are four main
guide books for 4-H leaders
and each has its county part
in a member’s manual. The
manuals are entitled, “Explor
ing Photography”. Using one
book a year works out nicely.
In the advanced stage of the 4-H
Photography project there are
skill guide sheets that cover
such topics as color slides,
news photography, enlarging,
movies, photo recording, car
eer opportunities in photo
graphy, investigation of small
business opportunities, and
photo visual presentations. All
of the advanced pamphlets come
with bibliographies so that the
really skilled boy or girl can
study the field in depth.
As the new 4-H Photography
project member will soon dis
cover, photography is not just
matter of taking pictures. It’s
an art, a science, a commun
ications tool. It teaches much
more than just how to use a
camera. It teaches how to look
at people and nature and really
“see”. It is both self expres
sion and the ability to see one’s
surroundings; not to mention
the enjoyment of leisure time
that will be realized by 4-H
Photography memtiers.
It definitely has a place in
the learn by doing program.
At this joyous time of year we extend
our greetings to our friends, whose confidence
we highly value. Thank you.
