For my service learning I did my digital photography ROP class. At this class we had to first learn the material the teacher taught about photography, and then we got to go out and take photos on what we learned. The usually at the end of the week or the beginning of the next we would have to turn in an assignment of what we learned. Contact name is either Jack Bohlka or our substitute teacher Mr. Daly. Jack's email is jack@cbcphoto.com.

Interpretive:

• The most important thing I have learned about doing my ROP class was being able to compose professional level photographs. Jack taught us the things professional photographers do when they take photographs, and had us incorporate that into our own images. Knowing these type of things about photography means that I can take professional images instead of the plain old snapshot photo.

Applied:

• Doing this helped me with my essential question by allowing me to be in direct contact with a professional photographer, and learn from him. It was helpful because I learned specifically what is important in photography, which led me to my best answers. Also, being in the class and actually taking photos helped me see what things made a photograph more aesthetically pleasing for myself instead of someone telling me it works in an article.
