The students in Beginning Photography have finished up their first projects. Some wonderful cyanotypes, pinhole cameras and images, and photograms were created. They are now starting to learn to develop film. The first shooting assignment is all about composition. Here is a slideshow about that assignment. The Advanced Photography students just learned a couple of transfer techniques using the two different Daylab processors and Fuji Instant film. They are working on their independent projects based on their interest in either a subject, a new technique, or another's work. They are also working on their self portrait projects. Check out their blogs to see research and ideas about what they are thinking about. Here are some interesting self portraits done by French photographer Laurence Demaison.

Some more inspiration from Radiohead. Oh Ed. And More Inspiration-thanks Cole Elsasser and Emily Sheldon-former students who both turned me on to this cool video. I took a wet plate class this summer with artist Jody Ake. It is a great process.
