It is a new school year with lots of changes. The biggest change for all of us is the move to a full block schedule. I like a block schedule-more time for going in depth into a project and less transitions. It will be a transition for all though. Some things will work better than others. It should prove to be an interesting year. Posted under the Beginning Assignments link are the syllabus, grading policy, an outline of the entire year's projects and a supply list. Start looking for a camera now. I have 10 to rent out for the year. You are required to have your own camera for this class. Look at Goodwill, Blue Moon, Cameraworks Northwest, Pro Photo, and on Craig's List. Make sure to take any used or older model camera in to Cameraworks to be cleaned and checked out. A camera that is not in working condition is not going to work for this class. Our first assignments are going to be cameraless-you will be building a pinhole camera and making photograms in the darkroom. Cameras will be needed by the end of September.
Here are some images of photograms, pinhole photos, and lumens.
