Learning to shoot photos of Polar bears...in Utah

I love the weird and subtle world of Mormon street fashion.  I grew up in Salt Lake City, and enjoy the styles of churchgoers on sunday.  I have decided to start a street fashion blog posting the latest trends and fashion with members of the Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter-day saints (LDS).  These folks are colloquially known as Mormons.

My motivation for this blog also has personal reasons.  I wish to use it in an effort to learn how to create and maintain a blog as well as to enhance my photography skills.  Both of these skills will develop and be used for an upcoming blog and photo experience in June.  I applied and was selected as a National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow, and will go on an expedition to the Arctic Svalbard in Norway.  I was chosen because I am teaching geographic literacy in my high school physics classroom in Salt Lake City.

While in the Arctic, I will be photographing nature and wildlife--predominately polar bears.  So in order to combine my love of LDS fashion and impending expedition, I've decided learn how to shoot photos of polar bears.  By capturing Mormons.
