Week 1 Wrap-Up

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

Hey Everybody!

I hope you all had a great first class! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in person next week.

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 this week's homework. I know it may sound like a lot, but please give it your best effort:

1- Choose a photograph that has meaning for you--it could be a photograph that you like or something that you've shot yourself in the past. Please write a quick paragraph to tell us why you chose this image and to introduce yourself.

2- Complete the survey, found here.

3- Begin shooting as much as possible over the coming week. I recommend taking 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 next week!
