They are to focus on the creative. - No mug shots - No posed candids - Variety is encouraged - Try to capture photos that tell a story - Take more photos than you need - Don't be afraid to explore - Go where most students cannot: the offices, outside, teacher workrooms, etc. 3. After all photos are taken, choose 3-5 to submit for the contest. 4. Write captions: - 1st sentence: present tense (who, what is in the photo) - 2nd sentence: past tense (how, why it is important)
