Tuesday, Dec. 3

Please come to class with your William Eggleston style shots (3 photos taken over break) on a stick.

Don't forget to look over http://www.mocp.org/ to select your photographer that you are going to mimic their style. Please select your photographer and send me a list of your rules before you start shooting. This is your final and you will have the last week to work on that, your final portfolio and photo diary.

AMENDMENT TO FINAL

If you choose the film option to make this fair to the other options - you will only have to do three prints instead of the five stated. This makes it so if you are running low on paper you can make it work. Digital you should be shooting like a roll minimum of 36 to get your five prints. You will turn in a contact sheet / small photos of your digital work printed on 8.5x11 to show your work since no negatives. We will talk about writing an artist statement for the main hallway to match the work for the final and the photo diary gathering on Monday.

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving break!

Thursday, Nov. 21

Come ready to critique. Bring your photo summary, negatives, contact sheet and prints under glass if you have it or your favorite under glass if you only have one.

We will talk about the final assignment in class on Thursday.

PHOTO DIARY: William Eggleston shots (color and favorite things). Three shots digital, in color, turned in the Tuesday after break.

Tuesday, Nov. 19
