AP Photography: week of 11.03.09

PHOTOBLOGGERY

Photography student, we will start you photo a day blog this week. We will be using photoblog.com. I will be starting one as well. I will post a link to the site so you can begin. I will no require you to post any images this week, it may be a good opportunity to stockpile a few images to get you started next week.

The whole point of this is to keep you on your toes, to always be looking for that "photo" everyday, everywhere you go. These images do not have to be done with a typical camera, you may only have your cell phone on you when that perfect picture presents itself. Taking a picture a day really translates to taking at least 25 pictures a day, which is great discipline and drop in the bucket if you continue to pursue photography in college.

I also want you to get in the habit of reflecting on or writing about the images you take.

We will begin posting images next week. Look for a Flickr group to follow.

ASSIGNMENT OF THE WEEK

Feet... all feet all the time. I expect you to show me 5 images of feet by Thursday, Nov. 12/Friday, Nov.13

They can be in shoes, without shoes, dirty, clean, in socks, 1 pair, 4 pairs, animal, human, hamsters, birds.... I don't care, I just want you to be creative.
