Getting Ready for September

I hope you are all having as good a summer break as I am. It is time to start thinking ahead to the fall though. Students who are returning to take Advanced Photography should look over the Multiple Perspectives assignment in the Documents for Printing section and also read up on David Hockney in the Interesting Links section. Slideshow below shows some Hockney and some student work from this assignment. You should all be taking lots of photographs and thinking about ideas you want to pursue. Students who have signed up for Beginning Photography should read over the Supply List and Syllabus. It is a good time to look for used cameras. Make sure it is manually operable. Familiarize yourself with the camera you are going to be using. Take it to a camera repair shop to clean and make sure it is in good working order. Make sure to get new batteries for it. We will be starting out making photograms-a cameraless picture. On a personal note-I was recently awarded a spotlight feature in Black and White Magazine for being a winner in their portfolio contest. The article is coming out in Issue 63, which hits the newsstands in mid October. You can check out my work on my website: NancyAbens.com Enjoy the rest of your summer!
