Winter Break, Grades and Photo Competition

Monday morning, first real day of winter break. I have finished grading shutter speed and depth of field assignments for beginning students and the self portraits and free choice assignments for advanced students. The grades posted are a truer indication of where everyone is at compared to the recent progress reports. Email me if you want to discuss the grade.
I am sponsoring a winter break photo competition for interested beginning students. Each class will have a winner for each of the following three categories: Winter weather; Poignant moments; and Humor/Irony relating to the season. These can be film, digital, or alternative process. You will have a week to finish the work before putting up for jurors. I have posted the next studio assignment, Lights, Shadows and Reflections, for you to check out, also.
So, shoot lots of photographs if you want or not. Have a relaxing and fun break. See you next year!
