Week 10 Wrap-Up

Sally Mann, from At Twelve
Hi Everybody,

Wow, it's hard to believe that we're almost done!

Thanks for a fantastic final crit and for all the hard work you put in this semester--it really shows in your prints.

This coming Saturday is our final exhibition! We will be meeting in our normal classroom. Be on time, since we won't be staying there vey long. Feel free to bring any snacks or refreshments you'd like to have during the exhibition. I'll be bringing a few little things myself.

The exhibition is open to friends and family from 12:00 to 1:00, Room TBA.
On to this week's homework!:

1-You will be turning in all of your final work next class on a DVD or USB drive which you will not be getting back. If you don't turn it in next class, you won't receive credit for the semester.

Your DVD/USB Drive needs to have the following:
-1 folder containing your final series photographs (20 minimum)
-1 folder containing all of the homework assignments
* Make sure your USB drive or folders are labelled with your FIRST and LAST name *

I want the highest quality files that you have. This means that I want PSDs or TIFs with the layers intact if you worked in Photoshop. If you worked only in Camera Raw or Lightroom, I want the XMP or DNG files as well. If you aren't sure what I mean by this, please contact me.

2-Before next class, post your full series to the blog. Label the post with your name. The blog will be projected during the exhibition.

3-I will be in touch re: the late draft of your artist statements later this weekend.

That's all for now! Please be in touch with ANY questions you have ASAP--next class is it!
