社協誠徵舊相機,圓兒童攝影夢


香港社區組織協會現正籌備一個兒童攝影小組「童‧影‧想」,對象為九至十三歲的貧窮家庭兒童。


是次活動宗旨為他們提供拍攝機會, 透過相片,可以讓他們藉著另一種的視覺媒介,去發掘並表達自己的感覺、生活、美好與現實。活動現計劃於七月份開展,為期16週,除了教授基本相機使用,攝影技巧外,他們還會就每次的作品於組內分享,透過各人獨有不同的角度,了解他人的想法,感受別人的生活。而小組最後將會以展覽形式分享他們喜歡的攝影作品,並讓社會透過他們的鏡頭接觸他們的世界。這些兒童來自低收入家庭,他們的家庭經濟能力不可以負擔購買相機,希望各界友好人士捐贈簡單易用的攝影器材。


徵求相機規格:

最少四百萬像數碼相機,操作正常需附叉電池及叉電器如附有儲存咭更佳(大小不拘)
聯絡方法:

請把相機型號及個人聯絡方法電郵至 kidphotographer@gmail.com

可在港鐵沿線交收或送往本會辦事處(何文田公主道52號3樓或深水埗桂林街117號2樓)

捐贈者請留下聯絡方法,以便日後活動或展覽通知大家

Besides learning the necessary skills and basic techniques required to work with a camera, they will be given free hand to create their photos and share them in a weekly gathering. These ongoing sessions will let them express their creativity and ideas and hence understand those of their fellow members.
