Carolyn Heyd did an internship at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., where she took photographs to help update their Web site. This was taken in Loveland Clear Creek, Colo.

Art students at Wheaton Academy will share their works with their family, friends and the community Wednesday.

"Photography has always been a passion of mine," said senior Carolyn Heyd of Elk Grove Village, whose photos will be featured in the school art show. "I take my camera with me where ever I go. I rarely take just one picture of my subject. I make it a point to always change the settings, distance, and angles many times, to get as many different pictures as I can."

Heyd's show submissions are part of her work for an independent study preparing her photography portfolio. It has helped her prepare for college in the fall, when she'll begin pursuing a mass communications degree at Easter, Illinois University.

The public is invited to attend the one-night-only show. Doors open at 6 p.m. at the West Chicago school, 900 Prince Crossing Road. For details, call (630) 562-7500.
