Thursday, Nov. 10

Hi guys,

PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR HORIZON'S REGISTRY FOR THE FIELD TRIP. CAN'T GO WITHOUT IT.

Also if you would like to get your grade sheet back from the last project just stop on by my office or the graphics lab tomorrow. I'm sorry I've forgotten to give them to you for a couple of class periods. So sorry things get pushed to the bottom of the bag and they never come up for air. So is the life of professor mom - can find the wet wipe but never all the assignment sheets.

For THURSDAY

Bring about $20 for the day. Should give you plenty of padding. We will be meeting up at 8 am at the photohouse. Drive to exit 56 go to the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge. I'll meet you at the watchtower area around the lake at 8:30 am. Bring your digital camera. Bring your film camera and about two rolls of film. We will take pictures at the Hatchie and then head downtown to Beale St. area to shoot film. From there we will head back down to midtown to the Brooks to see the Eggleston work.

Please read an essay of your choice by him about his work. http://www.egglestontrust.com/. Amanda - there is one on him by Eudora Welty that is a great read. From one literary giant to a photography giant:)

From there we will head to the Jack Robinson gallery back downtown to meet with them at 1 pm. Somewhere in there some good BBQ and more shooting in Memphis. We will leave no later than 3:30 pm to get back by 4:30 pm.

See ya then! Give me a ring if you have any problems or questions!

Tuesday, November 1, 2016 - campus and community day

Please shoot your photo diary in the style of Oak Thitayrak

http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2011/04/seen-on-the-streets-of-chicago-an-interview-with-oak-thitayarak/

One image you are hunting / tracking for a subject for your funny face
One image you are sitting / waiting for your subject to come across your frame for your funny face.

Put both images in the dropbox for Tuesday.

I TOTALLY FORGOT WE HAVE CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY DAY ON TUESDAY. No class - Go be part of our community. Start thinking about what you might be interested in shooting for the street assignment. What are you looking for as a theme for your roll. We will hit a street shoot hard on Thursday so come prepared with your larger cameras if you have them in digital (if not no big deal can shoot on phone.)

Tuesday, October 25

Please see critique notes from last post. See ya on Tuesday. Look for consistency across the spectrum of your prints.

Thursday, October 20

For Thursday - please use it as our last work day in the print lab. Push focus, consistency of tone across the shots, and play with filters.

Here's a link on filters - http://www.boerner.net/jboerner/?p=6216.

Photo Diary due on Tuesday, October 24th. Please shoot a subject in manner of Martin Schoeller. One shot close cropped, direct light and direct gaze. Second shot with your eye mask in a similar manner to George Clooney shot. If you feel that you subject would be more comfortable with mask and then direct - follow their lead with the shoot.

For critique on TUESDAY, OCT. 24 - please turn in your artist statement and your contact sheet. The photos need to pinned up in a line (left to right / environment / middle / close). Don't forget to swing by my office to get your first project work. Critique will be in the photo house and not in the main hallway.

Tuesday, October 11

Please have your most recent photo diary uploaded to dropbox. Be ready to use Tuesday as your last work day before break. See ya then!

PHOTO DIARY
Take three self portraits in style of your assignment. One environmental shot, one medium range and one close up. Direct the shot and then have friend shoot or use timer on camera. You design the shot. Please place these in your dropbox folder for class on Thursday.

For Thursday - Please shoot a roll of film so that you can use Thursday as a lab day to develop.
