When hanging make sure that you image is well fixed to your mat a little magic tape makes all things possible and glass is clean. The one under glass is the one that we will discuss during critique. Make sure to have your folder ready to be turned in. We will have a quick introduction to the next assignment there in the PAC afterwards.
THINGS YOU NEED TO FOLDER AND FOLDER ORDER

2. Your negatives in negative sleeves
3. Your contact sheets
4. Your final 8x10 prints / four in folder and one under glass / please put these in order according to similarity (depth of field together or motion shots together)
5. Notes for class and extra images / please make sure that all things are three hole punched in binder and nothing is loose and going to fall out. If it's loose I can't guarantee it's safe return. Good luck and see you on Monday!

PHOTO DIARY ASSIGNMENT: Henri Cartier-Bresson was a hunter - looking for the right moment in the geometric composition. Position yourself in a dynamic composition (remember the multiple planes or dimensions of a photograph) and wait for the decisive moment. This could be of anything - just hunt down that moment. Above are a few examples of Bresson's work where that decisive moment's geometry is lovely!
Here is the MOMA exhibition of Bresson's work. There are some great audio features that accompany the photographs as well.

FOR MONDAY: Bring gloves to class - we will demo developing on Monday. Please read through the handouts that your received in class concerning development and depth of field. Be working on shooting your Time/Motion assignment. You will need a roll of film to start developing ASAP after that. The final prints and critique will most likely be due on October 5th looking at the calendar. The following class sessions are going to be work days after that. If you would like to use Wednesday, Sept. 21st as a work day to develop you are more than welcome. Art majors and minors will most likely be in the Pottery Workshop so normal class that day will be canceled. Our classroom assistant will be posting hours this coming week to help out with developing when I'm not there. Will let you know the schedule for that as soon as I get it. Happy shooting!

Wednesday, Sept. 14
PHOTO DIARY ASSIGNMENT: What is it to go fast? What is it to play? Photograph people / objects going fast - Attempt to get the decisive moment when someone is about to do something...think about it as a composition. Where the photograph the most interesting? Look through that view finder...move around while shooting. Do not stand in the same spot and wait for something to happen. Rule of thirds like crazy!!
IN CLASS ASSIGNMENT: Study your equivalent exposure sheets and be able to find adjustments when needed. Remember the hashmark direction and move accordingly. You will have a quick quiz on Wednesday, also memorize those camera and enlarger parts. Start shooting for your assignment. Use the rules that you know to help you compose your frame and alter the motion that you are capturing (i.e. stop, blur and panning). Remember that you are going to probably need a couple rolls to do this assignment correctly...so please don't stress. You are just getting to know your camera and your camera is getting to know you. Be nice and it will be nice back. Please bring your photos from the Photo Challenge to class for Wednesday and we will discuss photograms in there as well so please leave them up. Those of you interested in an easier way to get photos to class check out www.dropbox.com. It's free and you can access it easily from the photohouse!

2. Blur
3. Panning

One your favorite final print will be put under glass. I've got a frame for you all. Go to hobby lobby and look for this frame. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/quick-frame-253708/. They are easy to find on the center aisle. You also need to get a bright white matt cut to size for the frame with an 8x10 opening.

The rest of the prints will be turned in with your Photo Folder which you will place your other prints, negatives and a quick statement with about the prints. This will be need to be at least 350 words. We will talk more about this as it gets closer to the project critique date.
On Monday we will go over more shutter speeds and aperture settings so be sure to read over that material that you have been given. Also if you have your film and need help loading it bring the camera to class. Remember you might not get this one roll so don't be disappointed if the first roll is more figuring out how your camera works. Don't forget to memorize those camera and enlarger parts for Monday.
