This class may be unlike any other class you have ever taken. You success is entirely driven by your shooting and creative activity. Weekly assignments are designed you get you to see and think more "photographically". There are no tests or papers due in this class.... rather, you will be creating an online portfolio of your work as you move from week to week. Quality AND quantity count. Keeping up with your work on a week to week basis also counts. Everything you need to complete this class successfully can be found in the class syllabus linked from the list of links on the right. I'll post a step by step "What do I have to do this week"? list of things to do. Not to worry though! This class is designed with the beginner in mind and it IS supposed to fun and enriching... I am here to help you succeed.
Any season of the year is good to be taking this class... Summer into early Autumn is a particularly good time as its great to get outdoors to shoot. ..Allow yourself time to shoot each week during daylight hours... it's your assignment to do so each week. It is light out until 8:00 pm now but getting shorter with each passing day...The very best light to shoot under is the hour or two up until sunset... say after 6 pm or the hour after dawn. The light is beautiful then. I will be encouraging you to use light expressively throughout this class and no flash pictures are allowed! With your work, try to make a point of shooting while you have light... You might want to change your routine and allow yourself 15 or 20 minutes in the morning before heading off to work to do your shooting.
....You can post to the blog and your portfolio from any computer on the Internet from any where in the world. I'm looking forward to getting started with you...
