First Time Digital Photo - Assignment: Color

Our students in First Time Digital Photography have been doing some incredible work.  One of their assignments is to look for Color.  It seems simple to find color, but to make a photograph that's really about color can be a challenge.  These students met that challenge and succeeded.  Enjoy!
