Michael Faraday
v Primary Sources v Michael Faraday, the third of four children of James Faraday (1761–1810) and his wife, Margaret Hastwell Faraday (1764–1838), was born in Newington Butts on 22nd September 1791. James Faraday and all his children belonged to the small Christian sect called in Scotland the Glasites after their founder, John Glas , and in England the Sandemanians, after Robert Sandeman , who had brought these religious views to the country. Faraday worked as a blacksmith with James Boyd, a Sandemanian ironmonger of Welbeck Street , London . Faraday later recalled: "my education was of the most ordinary description, consisting of little more than the rudiments of reading, writing, and arithmetic at a common day-school. My hours out of school were passed at home and in the streets".
More Photography for Kids Resources Photography Tips Just a little technique goes a long way with kids. If your kids want to learn to take better pictures, these sites can help. Kids younger than 10 may need help understanding the photography techniques, but kids 10 and up may be able to use them independently. They have ideas for composing pictures, using close-ups, lighting, and special effects to communicate a message in pictures.

Aims & rationale reveal is a documentary photography project set in Bristol between the years 2000 and 2002. It features 36 young people from all walks of life aged 16 to 22 years old. I asked each participant to think of how they wished to represent themselves in terms of the photographic portrait, and to think in terms of locations that revealed aspects of their lives they wished to record for posterity. I took colour photographs as observations of objects that were discussed and shown to me whilst working with each participant.
