"Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful...Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!! Yes, it has been very wintery and so much school time lost. But, what great opportunities for fabulous photos!!! So, over the break I expect you all to capture some great shots. When we return to school in January, everyone will be getting their semester portfolios together. This is a large part of your grade. For beginning students, you should have a minimum of 7, maximum of 15 prints. I will be looking for evidence of effective use of composition techniques, creative camera controls, excellent print quality, and clean presentations. Never, ever turn in work that is not to the best of your abilities. That means you may need to reprint or remat work. You all should get some good new work over break. Print out the "Shooting with Purpose". Remember if you get film at Fred Meyer or someplace like that, make sure it is not a C-41 film. You want a true black and white film such as TMax.
Advanced students should be finishing up registering for the scholastic awards. I will be back on the 6th to help finish up any of the forms, etc. Email me if you have any questions- nancy.abens@gmail.com Hope you all have a really happy, relaxing break.
