Stay Creative

http://www.todayandtomorrow.net/2011/06/05/33-ways-to-stay-creative/

Since we will not have class for a week, I don't want to to get stale. Stay creative!
This is a list I found at some point and thought it would come in handy one day. Use this list to create a collection of photos to use in our first few class exercises. Take pictures of yourself or your friends or just the things included in this list. Feel free to add creative practices of your own.
FOR EXAMPLE- You could have a picture of you sketching, your friend sketching, or an interesting picture of you sketch book. It's up to you. take multiple pictures of each creative activity. Please make sure that you try to be creative while taking the pictures.
Bring your images on a disk, hard drive or memory card next week and we'll get started.

Have a fun and safe weekend! Go to First Friday!! You are lucky to live/study in a City that has an active arts community. Take advantage of it.

Welcome - Fall 2011

Welcome to Photo 1! This semester each student will maintain a blog to share links, respond to readings and shows and to post project images. I hope you have fun and learn a lot!

Final Countdown

Just some dates to keep in mind

Wednesday 11/10 - Crit for "In the Style of" 5 prints and a total of 10 digital files.

Monday 12/6/10 - Final Crit - This will be a series of your choosing. Start thinking. More details to follow.

Self as Subject

This will be a two week assignment.
During the first week I would like you to "focus" on yourself in a personal (subjective) way.
During the second week I'd like you to be more objective. Consider - self as stranger - shadow - reflection - distortion

People Shots

For this project I would like you to photograph people using only day light. Explore the idea of taking a picture of a person vs. taking a portrait of a person. Is the photo of the person or about the person? Posed vs. candid?
Use as many subjects as you want.
I won't count how many shots you take, but will ask you to take enough so that you can edit the shots down to 10 great ones.
We will do the processing in class on Monday.

Architectural Details

For Monday September 20th
5 shots of Tyler building
5 shots on Temple campus
5 shots off of Temple campus
This project will challenge you to find interesting images in the architecture around you. You will practice your compositional skills as well as looking for / waiting for the best light. Of course you will need to shoot many more than the five images per category listed above, but I want you to do your editing and processing in class Monday.
