This isn't about learning photography, for kids it's about being retro/hip/individual.
The fact that their pics come out like shit, under exposed, over, out of focus, etc will only add to it like paying extra for ripped, washed jeans or punk music played badly.
For some it might be about being hip, but some might be inspired to continue expressing themselves with a camera. I am not so cynical to think that all kids are mindless followers of fashion.
My first attempts at developing photos were less than perfect. That didn't discourage me. I learned from my failures. Chances are good those kids will make the same mistakes I made. The committed won't be discouraged.
I loved the tactile stimulation of developing my own film. I can still smell the chemicals and the light in the enlarger. I liked watching the image appear in the developer tray. I liked using my hands for the dodge burn under the enlarger.
I like using manual lenses and manual transmissions in my cars. I like being involved in the process.
I shoot digital, and there are times when I want to be hands on with focus and aperture. One of my favorite lenses is a Tokina EL 28mm. I have a reverse ring that I attach to the filter ring. What the reverse ring does is allows me to shoot macro by reversing the lens. I can switch from standard to macro in seconds with this setup.
Different lenses have different characteristics. My old Industar 50-2 has wonderful bokeh and works well as a Macro lens when teamed with extension tubes.
Using those old lenses forces me to slow down and become more deliberate in the process of taking photos. Instead of coming home with 150 photos, I end up with 30 to 40 photos. There will be less throwaway images when using manual lenses. There will be some spoiled images because I didn't get the focus right, but that's OK. The remaining images are framed much better.
My next lens will be the Rokinon 14mm 2.8. It's a manual lens.
I have tried many substances to alter my consciousness, but only one of those drugs hooked me. I had a three pack a day nicotine habit. I had to go cold turkey. It was a miserable experience, but worked.
Clean since 1973.
After the wall came down in Berlin, GHW Bush commented that the intel focus would shift away from military targets to economic targets. I don't remember the exact words, but that shift in focus stuck in my mind.
The cold war was an economic war. The USSR didn't have the infrastructure to survive an extended global war and we knew it. All we needed to do was keep the pressure on, force them to spend more on their military and wait. Osama bin Laden tried that same tactic on us and GW Bush fell for it hook line and sinker.
Even before the roll out the ACA has saved my family a few thousand dollars. The free mammograms and other preventative care exams that fall under the law have allowed my family to get checkups without having to worry about paying for them.
Both my wife and I were uninsurable. I had to sell my business and get a government job to obtain health insurance. If the ACA was in effect back in the 80's, I might still have my business.
The first failure was the state government believing Oracle could build the site. Oracle promised but didn't deliver, and now the state is taking the blame. Maybe Oregon should call Kentucky and copy what they are doing. Even a "hick" like gov Beshear knows that if you want it done right, you do it yourself.

Every country knows they are being monitored, but don't admit it in public. You don't want your adversaries to know you know what they are doing to you. You want to know what your competitor is looking for.
Only part of the spying is military, much of the spying could be called industrial espionage.
Just do two days of fasting, and eat normal meals the other days. It seemed like you were trying too hard.
I will soon be fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. tomorrow I will have, for my fast day, baked Salmon and grilled vegetables. It will be a wonderful under 600 calorie meal.
You need to find a plan you can live with. Remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint. Allow some flexibility. Don't be too strict with yourself.
Eat less. Try a method like Alternate day fasting. No pills, no charts, no bullshit. Eat regular diet on feast days, 500- 600 in one meal on fast days. You can do it every other day, or 5 days feast, 2 days fast. I'm doing it now and have lost 20 lbs. I haven't had to feed big pharma, or buy some diet guru's book.

Fuck the rich assholes who have bought our state and federal lawmakers. And Fuck those lawmakers too. Be sure to wear a condom. Better yet, two.
In the movie an inventor comes up with a candy that had the alcohol content of a triple Martinis. Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall.
I've had it since 1963 and it works as good as day one.
I do it old school, pen on paper.
Our hair serves more than one purpose, so why shouldn't Zebra stripes?
Shave the zebra to see the color of the skin.
Polkadots made them look fat, and floral prints are not suitable for the dry season.
They have Fox News and all kinds of TV evangelist and church services. Remember, those churches are tax exempt.
Your government won't tell you that, but it's true, Glenn Beck told me.
good enough for me.
He was in Futurama.

Ask Oracle why the site doesn't work. They are the ones being paid to build and run the site.

It also has many built in functions for people with poor eyesight, hearing, and motor skills. VOIP can be set up so he can use it as a phone.
