The end is NEAR...........finals yuck!! (I'm going to miss ALL of you)
Photo 1 Final
Blog complete with ALL assigned projects
must include titles and brief description of project.....this would put you in the "B" range.
Blog complete with 5 or more extra projects could put you in the "A" range. The more you make & post with titles and description the more impressed I will be with your dedication to photography. Now, go EARN that A!!!!
Last Shoot...........choose a style you take & EDIT with Photoshop images with historical importance. These are a few examples of my fav's
Dorothea Lang, Ansel Adams, Weston and more amazing past artists that used their camera and editing tell a story of life; good bad and ugly
