Here it is. Your final project.
Requirements:
1. Come with new photographs each week.
2. Be productive the entire time you are shooting. Don't get into a funk.
3. Be creative.
4. Don't forget what you have learned this term.
5. Twelve prints and twelve images on the blog. They need to be the same. THEY NEED TO BE GREAT!
DUE DATES:
Your final project is due on Thursday, May 20th. We will take Thursday and Friday to critique. Your project is due at the BEGINNING OF CLASS on Thursday. I will turn off the printers so that you cannot print during critique. The blog will be due at the same time.
You will turn in your final project prints and your notebook for final grading.
This is worth 20% of your grade, so take is seriously!

Assignment #9 - Final Project Proposal
I need to know what you are doing for your final project. More importantly, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR YOUR FINAL PROJECT.
Write, with some detail, what your plans are for your final project. Include things like the larger concept of what you are trying to convey, as well as some specific details of how you are going to accomplish this project.
Assignment #9 is due on Thursday, May 6th.
You can write about your project and post it on your blog anytime, but you need to post it before you can start shooting your final project.
Don't forget to do this! It is something that can kill your grade if you don't.

Assignment #7 - Numbers
So you guys probably thought you were going to escape my torture huh? Well guess again...
Assignment number two. It's really your first real REAL assignment. Kick some tail.
Here are the requirements:
You will make 100 images. No more...no less.
You will make your first frame contain the number zero (0).
Your second frame will contain the number one (1).
Your third frame will contain the number two (2).
Can you guess what your fourth frame will contain? Yep, a number three (3).
Rinse and repeat.
You will end up with 100 images, starting with number 0, ending with 99.
Remember, no deleting, no re-shooting numbers, if you make a mistake on the exposure, go on to your next number. Fix your exposure for the next number before shooting (duh).
DO NOT TAKE THIS ASSIGNMENT LITERALLY. Be creative in how you represent the numbers you will shoot. Bonus points if you photograph them in braille. Extra bonus points if you can photograph 99 Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) for the final exposure. DO NOT have your parents drive you all over town. DO NOT go walking up and down the street looking for addresses that work. You can shoot this assignment within the comfort of your own home. There are easily 100 sequential numbers in your house.
Show me your top 10 numbers on your blog and print 5 of those for critique.
Due on 4/16
Quote for the day:
"Photoshop is a crutch for those who are too lazy to get it right in the camera."
I said this, it is my quote. If you quote me, attribute me. If you don't quote me I will be sad.
Good luck!

Portraits of Holocaust Survivors
Jerzy Ulatowski, KL Auschwitz survivor, No. 192823 - Marciek Nabradalik/VII Mentor Program
Hey guys,
Please read this article from the NY Times about this photographer who is shooting portraits of Holocaust survivors.
Pay attention to what his goals are and what techniques he is using to accomplish those goals.
This might be something interesting to try in your own portraiture.
