~~~~ photo samples coming with folks going through process ! ~~~~

Photovoice puts cameras in the hands of people to take photographs of their community in support of both positive and negative aspects of their community. That combined with narratives to share points of view with people who in most cases make decisions in or about their community.

Participants reach decision makers via community project sessions, in their homes, Web Sites, public exhibits, etc. The decision makers they reach may be themselves, family, friends, neighbors, peers, teachers, community leaders, elected officials, or foundations.
