This week:

• Assignments are due at the beginning of class
• Your ‘experimental’ projects should head roughly in the direction you plan to take for your final project.
• Your responses from the reading is due (Wednesday for Photo I).  Please link to readings on the class site and respond before midnight, the day before you class.

Next week:

• Your final project proposal is due.  We will have a working/editing session as well as individual meetings to discuss your current standing in the class and what you are executing for your final project.
• Please have negatives/files related to your final project ready to work on.

Welcome back class!  I am looking forward to what you’ve produced over break!

First, let’s talk about our reading.

Then, let’s look at the work of Timothy O’Sullivan.

Briefly look at some of the New Topographics work.

We will finish up our in-class discussion by looking at some books and magazines featuring contemporary landscape photographers that work in black and white and some color:

• Lois Connor
• Frank Gohlke
• Kate Greene
• Barbara Bosworth
• John Gossage

If there’s time, I recommend that we start to work on developing film, making contacts and printing images for next week.  Friday will be your last class session to print during class.  We will have a demonstration on dodging and burning.  Please revisit Chapter 10 from the Black and White book as a refresher!
