Houstonville's photography shop is a department in which students learn how to take pictures using a digital camera and then create frames for these pictures.  Students then sell these frames for
Cougar Cash.  Students learn many mathematical skills using this camera while having fun.  They learn about proportion as they  position people accordingly to size and are able to focus or zoom on areas that are important.  Once pictures are printed, students can crop what is necessary for the customer to be satisfied.   They then create frames using color and texture varieties to see what frame is best to  go with the picture itself.  The photo shop also creates back drops for different seasons or holidays and pictures of students are taken in front of these backdrops.  The photo shop sells these pictures to the students and they are kept with a reminder of that special moment.  The photo shop also takes pictures upon request of special events.
