How do you shoot when you don’t own a camera? STEPHANIE: Every week and weekend when I was in school, I would go to the photo lab or the resources center to check out a camera. I knew once school would be over, I wouldn’t have the advantage or opportunity to learn new techniques and skills. I took the advantage throughout my first year of college to use materials I never had access to before. Now that I’m out of school, I’m shooting with a mobile phone and sometimes a friend’s camera. 4
