[2/12/16]
[Elley Parker]
Proposal: [Photography]
[Practicing and getting better at photography]
Needs and Opportunities
Explain the problem you have noticed that needs to be solved with a project like yours. This is also your hook, so make sure you grab our attention.
 In photography everyone performs the hobby in different ways. I think people should try photography because it is so much fun and it lets you experience so many fun things. In this project I want to learn how to take better pictures and to use different techniques with different cameras. I think this will be so much fun because I love to take picture and to explore with different things
Audience / Clients / Users
Explain who will benefit from your project. How will you be able to access them for an empathy interview?
  I will be presenting this project to my classmates in language class and to my parents and sisters. I want to show them how interesting photography is and how much fun it can be. I think that after my project people will be inspired to try it and want to learn how to do it themselves. 
Mentors
Who can help you with this project? Who will you need to contact and what will you ask them to commit to in helping you?
 My older sister McAuley will be helping me with this project because she has a lot of experience with photography and with different cameras. Also my teacher Mrs.Browning is going to help me in class and to help me with other things to. Lastly my mom and my dad are going to help me with this project and be there to help me when I need it.
Timeline
What is your monthly timeline for this project. I want to see a list of deliverables with deadlines. You may find that the timeline needs adjustment during the course of the year, which may be fine. Check in with me if that’s the case.

Product
What is the actual product you will show this spring. This project may be made of atoms or bits, but you must have something to show. I’m not interested seeing a bunch of great ideas at the end of the year. I want to see things. I will show a big slide of all the picture I took and explain the picture about where I took it, who it is, what it is, and why I took it. I am going to print some out and pass them around for people to see.
Reality Check
I am looking for moonshots here, but even moonshots need budgets. What equipment are you going to need? What other capital expenditures do you anticipate, and how will you meet them?
  I am going to need to present a power point and print the pictures for people to see. I will need to print but I can do it with the help of my parents. And my sister is going to help me to take pretty and fun pictures to show to the class.
Conclusion
Wrap it up. Why are you fired up about this project? Inspire us to support you, and give us a great reason to approve your project

. I am because I know it is going to be so much fun to present and to show people what I can do with photography. I want to inspire people to go out and try this and I hope they will enjoy it as much as I do.
