On July 16, 2011, the photographers met to show their photographs and to work together to critique each other's work. Carey McLaughlin also attended the meeting and then proceeded to teach a class on how to write descriptively about photographs. McLaughlin then proceeded to meet with the students in small groups or communicated via e-mail to help edit the writings. The teens completed their writings and chose their photographs.
