Week 9 Wrap-Up

Irving Haberman, [Kenneth White and Flora Percudani, both 5, of the Childrens Aid Society’s West Side Center, carving the Thanksgiving turkey, New York], 1946

Hi Everybody,

I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving!

I am very sorry this email is coming to you so late—I got really sick after last class, and I spent most of the last week laid up in bed, but I’m on the mend now.

You should have received edits from me in the last few days. If you did not, I did not receive your statement and need it right away.

For the rest of you, I need your latest edit no later than Wednesday night.

This week is our final critique. There are two important things happening:

1—You will be showing 10 new images from your series to the class.

2—You will be turning in 10 final, full-size images for the exhibition. This can be a mix of new and old images, as long as they are related to your series. I will have a hard-drive in class for you to save them to. IF I DO NOT GET THE IMAGES FROM YOU SATURDAY, YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE SHOW.

If you need more time to edit your images, or if you would like to discuss which images to include, I have reserved a computer lab for us after class from 1-3pm in Room N003 at 66 5th Ave.

Finally, if you want to turn in your final next class you can. You need to give me a DVD or USB drive with 20+ images from your project and all of your homework assignments. These need to be turned in as the highest quality file you have (PSD or TIF). If you did Photoshop work, I want them turned in with all layers intact.

Please be in touch with any questions at all—we are getting down to the wire!
