Week 1 Day 1 Wrap-Up

Eliott Erwitt. 'Felix, Gladys and Rover' New York City, 1974

Hey Everybody!

Thanks for a great first class! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone does over the next two weeks. We will be shooting outside tomorrow, so please dress for the weather and don't forget to bring your camera!

You should be all set to post to the blog. I've posted a tutorial on the blog to show you how to make a post and upload videos, just in case you run in to trouble. If you have any problems logging in or uploading images, let me know.

On to today's homework. I know it sounds like a lot, but please give it your best effort:

1- Shoot and post a photograph depicting something "invisible" (how you choose to interpret this is entirely open to you). Be sure to include the word "invisible" in your post title. Please write a quick paragraph to introduce yourself.

2- Complete the survey, found here.

3- Begin shooting for our Week 1 Project "The Flaneuer", due next Monday. Take some time ever day to "wander" someplace new or unfamiliar. Pay attention to the things and moments that interest you and photograph them with intention.

4- Get used to taking your camera with you everyday. Don’t self-edit right now—just shoot as much as possible. 

5- Read through your camera's manual. If you don't have your manual, you may be able to find it online here:

That’s it! If you have any difficulty accessing the blog, or if you just have any questions about the supply list or anything that we covered in the syllabus today (or if there is anything in particular you'd like to make sure we cover), please let me know.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow!
