“As an educator who has worked with high-school students since 1985 – and as a parent 
who homeschooled four children – I know how difficult it is to find materials that are both 
substantial and practical to administer.

I reviewed the complete Available Light: Student Edition, including the student materials 
and parent-administration documents, and I love what Ernest has created. 
The photography work is thoughtful, engaging, and carefully structured. 
It develops observation, judgment, independence, and artistic intention 
while giving parents clear guidance for scheduling, 
assessment, record-keeping, and academic credit.

This is a genuine yearlong study, not simply a collection of photography assignments. 
Students finish with meaningful work and a completed portfolio that demonstrates 
what they have learned. I would have been delighted to have something this complete 
when I was homeschooling my own children.

Considering the depth of the materials, the parent resources, 
and the household license covering siblings, the $195 price is remarkably generous.”
