A camera, scavenger hunt list below or one you’ve created on your own.

REFLECTION: 

Which was your favorite item to photograph?  Were there any photos that you didn’t like?  Why or why not?  Which items did you photograph that were not on the list?  If you were to create your ideal Photo Scavenger Hunt, what items would you put on it?

IMAGININGS :

Imagine that there are no boundaries!  Imagine that you can take a photo of anything you’d like and call it anything you’d like!  What would you photograph?  Would you photograph something someone else might call smooth, but you think it is the most fantastic, textured object ever?  Use your imagination, get creative and don’t be afraid to label things however, you want to instead of how everyone else thinks you should!
