On Thursday, September 21, 2017 CLASP held its annual Américas Award K-12 educator workshop this year co-hosted by American University’s School of Education. The workshop highlighted three Américas Award books that portray different perspectives of migration. Award winner Alexandra Díaz presented her book, The Only Road; Honorable Mention author Reyna Grande shared her story of migration from her YA memoir, The Distance Between Us; and Nadia Hohn, an Honorable Mention author, highlighted a different story of migration from the Caribbean with her book, Malaika’s Costume. In addition, curriculum specialist Rebeca Gamez offered strategies to incorporate these themes into the classroom. Finally, Fayette Colon of the inspiring social justice in education and advocacy organization Teaching for Change, a cosponsor of the workshop, discussed additional resources for educator participants

I should have done this properly (at least straighten the sheet!) if I'd thought it would actually work... From the stud=R2D2 scale of 30051 to the sheer size of the Venator class model and the "midi-scale" Star Destroyer.
One of my impromptu compositions! Just looked upwards and clicked....not much did I think on this one...!
Week 5 - extreme perspective photography task.
Middlesex University: Product Design and Engineering first year undergraduates...
The new suburban trains here consist of several flexibly joined cars, and you can walk through half the train. That of course gives a fantastic perspective when you look along the aisle. Today I had the luck of standing at one end and not too many passengers, so I couldn't resist taking a snapshot.
Die neuen S-Bahnen im RMV bestehen aus Waggons, die mit flexiblen Bälgen verbunden sind, so dass man innen durch den halben Zug laufen kann und die Nahtstellen fast nicht bemerkt. Die Symmetie und der Fluchtpunkteffekt reizen mich daran schon seit einiger Zeit, und heute habe ich endlich einen brauchbaren Schnappschuss machen können.
Taking into consideration perspective, i've used this angle of frame to create an interesting effect on the image
Nikon D3 28-70 mm 1/500 f/4 ISO 800. I had the opportunity to shoot at the Lakewood Fire Department training center in Washington. This picture was taken at the top of a 105 ft ladder truck. Yes that small spec in the center is a person taken a picture of me. I had a blast. Thanks, Lakewood Fire Department.
This is from an assignment on Dyxum.com. Dyxum is a website dedicated the Minolta and Sony A-Mount cameras and lenses. One of the nice things about the site is that they have some truly knowledgeable and dedicated photographers there who are willing to take the time to craft assignments for other photographers to shoot to better their trade.
This assignment was entitled 'Perspective.'
It's a three part assignment and in the first part, you were supposed to take a telephoto shot, and then a wide angle shot, and crop the wide angle shot in Post to be the same framing and size as the original.
The second part is to take a wide angle lens, a telephoto lens, and a 'normal' lens. Shoot your subject with the Wide and the Tele lenses, and then put the normal lens on the camera. Move forward and back on foot until the size and framing of the original is duplicated in the 'normal' lens. I shot that part with a Tamron 28-75mm, so I used 28mm and 75mm as my wide and tele, and then 55mm as my 'normal' and moved front and back. I should have moved further back for the wide part.
Finally, Part C is walk around until you find something you want to shoot, and STOP and SHOOT IT. Then, look at the photo, and see how it can be improved by moving the camera up or down, and left to right. I moved five feel left, and reframed and shot You can see the difference a mere 5' makes.

I left this one a little larger than most so that you could get a Perspective of the size of the cliffs that they traverse!
