"National Geographic Photo Camp students in the New York Times
This past summer, supporters of Restore the Delta, National Geographic Photo Camp project, the America's Cup Healthy Ocean Project and the Full Circle Fund gathered at the America's Cup Pavilion in San Francisco for a screening of "From the Delta to the Bay: Our Story," and a special America's Cup Healthy Ocean Project video. This National Geographic Photo Camp project featured the photography and recorded narratives of students from Downtown High School in San Francisco and Stockton Collegiate International School in Stockton; the America's Cup Healthy Ocean Project video featured the same students work in progress. A few of these photos have been featured in the New York Times Lens Blog.
The New York Times Lens blog is featuring a portrait of 21st-century America through the eyes of teens across the country.

Looking at Our Hometowns

What would happen if you asked high school students to help create a 21st-century portrait of the country by turning their cameras on their neighborhoods, families, friends and schools?
You would have "My Hometown" - a vibrant document of 4,289 images submitted by teenagers in school- or community-based photography programs across the United States, including rural villages and urban neighborhoods, wealthy suburbs and blue-collar Rust Belt towns.
...
"The project was inspired by a belief in the power of photography as an educational tool, and by a desire to help young people communicate the way they see their lives and their communities."
