Nearly 100 scouts combed the city in search of photo opportunities By Tina M. Gohr News-Chronicle The most troublesome aspect about taking photographs, says Girl Scout Tatum Snyder, is running out of film. Ditto. Armed with disposable cameras, more than 100 scouts from the Girl Scouts of Lac Baie Council were given an assignment to shoot designated areas of the city in three hours for a "Snapshot Scavenger Hunt." The cameras were dropped off at a one-hour photo processor before the girls assembled them into collages. The best of the montages received prizes. Scout Krista VanderZanden said she traveled to the Farmers Market, the Brown County Courthouse and scout Emelia Carpenter's grandmother's house and photographed a blind lady on a sidewalk. The budding photographers were required to take photos from different vantage points or angles, pan moving vehicles and attend an event. They earned bonus points for subjects with a Girl Scout emblem, Packers' logo, a statue, a police officer, stranger doing a cartwheel, local landmarks and others. "Our biggest priority was for them to learn something from photography and the people they photographed,'' said Laurie Nelson, program specialist for the council. "Not just shoot and run." They added to their talents by becoming journalists for a day and asking questions of their subjects. "They were photojournalists for a day - a fun day with fun subjects," Nelson said.
