Point and shoot

It’s a snap!

At The Point community center, bring out the photographer within, as your pre-teen or teen can learn how to see the world through a camera lens with free photography classes beginning Jan. 24

The 10-week beginner program will teach kids how to take black-and-white photos — providing them with a 35mm camera and all other necessary photography materials — and guide them through the use of the dark room to develop their work.

For inspiration, participants will be assigned to take photos based on a theme of the semester. A special visit from a guest photographer will further explore the craft.

By the end of the course, they can show off their work during a final presentation for family and friends.

Photography classes at The Point [940 Garrison Ave. at Barretto Street in Hunts Point, (718) 817-8700], Jan. 24–April 4. Pre-teen classes meet Mondays and Thursday from 4-7 pm, teen classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4-7 pm. Free. Early registration preferred. For info visit www.thepoint.org.
