A New Semester

The beginning photo students just finished submitting their first semester portfolios. I was so impressed with many of them. I saw many beautiful, thoughtful, extremely well printed images. I am really looking forward to second semester and even better work. Our first assignment is light, shadow and reflections. This assignment usually is a turning point for many students who are still struggling with some of the technical aspects. They start to really "get it" and the image quality just leaps. I will try to get some of the beginning students work scanned in for a slideshow. Last week, we watched the terrific documentary, Eloquent Nude, The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson. She was an inspiring woman and he a brilliant photographer- A very poignant love story. Here is the light, shadow and reflection slideshow for those students who missed that day.
