Tuesday, Sept. 3

Please have a printed out hard copy of your proposal to turn in on Tuesday next week. Find at least two  - three photographers to reference in your proposal that your work's look or idea is aligned to. You will spend your first week of Sept. idea shooting and testing out the look of your idea. In Class exercise - build something or take something apart in a series of photos similar to Duane Michals work. The series of six will be on one slide in your photo diary with a title handwritten underneath. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Please tell a story of a moment with a series of five close up photographs. Look to Nicholas Nixon for inspiration. http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=4315. Have these ready for class on Thursday. 

We will look over your in depth revised proposals on Thursday. Please talk about layers of depth. Find several photographers that work with a similar idea or concept that you are linking your work to. Think about that final product on the gallery wall.
