Guest speaker for Tuesday

Dear students:

Class will meet at the library room 3 A (3th floor) on Tuesday, March 17. Please be on time, class starts at 8 am. Have your questions for Mr. Terrance Armstand ready. Everyone must participate and be awake. So make sure you drink some coffee or a Red Bull before you come to class. Read the chapter on ethics and be ready to take notes. Content of Armstard’s presentation will be considered for test material.

Feature idea

Dear students:

The Black Heritage parade is going on this Saturday. This is a great opportunity to get lots and hopefully good feature shots (did I mentioned candy?). Here is the link for more info:

You may want to visit www.thenewsstar.com for photo ideas and events, specially on Thursday's when the "To Do" section is out.

Please email me if you have any questions.

Have lots of fun while you let the photographer inside of you do all the work!

Features/People at work

For this assignment you will need a total of 10 edited images. At least 4 images have to be features and the rest might be people at work (candid shots please). The more features you get, the better.
You will post the edited and unedited version in your blog and you must have the names of the subjects. You will not need to add your byline in the photos, instead, add it in Photoshop's file info.
We will talk some more about features Thursday, but I guess you must have a good idea by now since you have read your chapter. This assignment is due on Thursday, March 3 by the end of the class. Everyone must come to class. Remember we have a test coming up Thursday, March 5.
Also, remember to bring your summary about Mr. Dunlap's presentation on portraits. If you were absent, I suggest you talk to your classmates and elaborate from the chapter.

Assignments

Students:

For this time ONLY, I will allow you to work on your portraits Thursday during class. You will have until 9:10 am to finish your postings. No work will be received after this time.
If you have been keeping up and have your portraits done and posted on your blog, you are excused for Thursday class, unless you rather come to class to sharpen your Photoshop skills and/or want to finish previous or future assignments.

ALSO: You write a 2-pages summary (double spaced) on Mr. Dunlap's presentation on portraits. This summary is due Feb. 26 (10 points)

Your assignment on features/people at work has been moved to March 3th. Make sure to read your chapter.

I will be making some changes on the syllabus. Please check my blog and moodle for updates.

Email me if you have any questions or concerns
