Every year, thousands of kids head off to college. Some are Christian kids. Others are not. What do they have in common? They will all be attending colleges/universities/tech schools where their professors will play a key role in helping shape their worldview. As Christians, we want our kids to grow in their faith, not walk away from it. We try to nurture their faith in and love of God. We teach them and give them guidance.

Because of this project, Munchkin and I decided that we wanted to learn more about photography this year. Since I wanted this class to be a homeschool elective for Munchkin, I went to work seeing what resources were readily available for us. I wanted something that was in depth, but not cumbersome. We needed to learn about the camera and digital photography, but we weren’t trying to become professional photographers. It took…
