Thank you everyone for the wonderful feedback.
Kelli-it takes me about 8 hours to do a photonovel.
Because the process is participatory, I act as a facilitator and the
participants
are the ones who chose the topic of importance to them.  They also take
the photographs and write the story.  I oversee that everything runs well
and I compile
the project on the computer.  Once that is done the participants can edit
anything
they want to have changed.  So, they are very much the creators of the
project, which is empowering for them.
The process is as follows:
1. Choosing a topic
2. Writing a Story
3. Taking photographs and acting (the participants should freeze in their
scenes, so the picture will come out clearer)
4. Putting the project on computer and editing
