Alphabet photography

Check it out! Here's a super cool project for computer classes (we're going to start with IP 20/30 and go from there). It's "alphabet photography" - the name speaks for itself. It's amazing how you will see things differently when you start looking for letters in all of your surroundings! Once we have collected as many letters of the alphabet as possible, I will show you how to edit and compile them into collages like this.

I hope you all had a great weekend. My weekend was full of alphabet photography (stay tuned!), and a great experience of singing with a group of you lovely people at Sacred Heart for mass this morning. Thank you to those of you who were there to share the gift of music with everyone. Your service is very much appreciated!

Also, in mostly unrelated news (although still on the topic of music.... surprise, surprise!), check out this SUPER cool group that Brenna pointed out to me. Apparently when they got together they could only afford one guitar, and necessity is the mother of invention, after all!

Dear Jazz Choir,

This song is fantastic. Please listen to it and fall in love with it, and its fantastic energy and interesting rhythms and harmonies. We are singing it at today's rehearsal, as my new set of music just came in!

With (seasons of) love,

Miss Campbell :o)
