Unable to find the right photographs of wooden buildings in Georgetown for her child’s assignment, Amanda Richards and her then primary school child armed themselves with a ‘point and shoot camera’ and roved the streets of the city, taking what they considered to be the right photographs of various buildings.
That was in 2009. She shared those photographs on the internet site Flicker, so that other children could have access to decent pictures of wooden buildings in Georgetown.
“So that is essentially how I started, with a little tiny point and shoot camera,” Richards said in a recent sit down with the Sunday Stabroek.
