W. May 28 Final

I've posted this earlier, but I'm going to post it again:
Your final presentation for class will be the final week of class, May 3rd and May 5th, not finals week. (I do this because there's no way to give everyone the time they deserve during a two hour final.) We'll be presenting both Monday and Wednesday, and yes, you need to be present both days, and you need to be prepared to present either day.

Your final will consist of your blog- complete with all assignments and all chapters of the book discussed. You'll also have a complete website and at least twelve matted prints. These prints should be from a new project of your own choosing, using some of the techniques you learned in class. The prints and the mats need to be perfect, no dings, no mis-cuts, no spots no out-of-focus images.

Frank Lopez Lecture!

Tuesday April 20, at 6:00pm Frank Lopez will be lecturing in room 131 in Wathena Temple. Frank will be discussing the context of his pinhole/ambrotype imagery, and how it fits in during this time in photographic history and where it is going. Frank is a cool guy that makes great images. You should attend if at all possible!

M. April 19

Hi guys- it's your lucky day. I've been sick all weekend and figured that I'd be better by now, but I'm not. So we won't be having class today. Instead, the websites that we were going to review today, we'll review on Wednesday- along with your six matted prints from Cooper Lake State Park. Please use this day wisely! Take the time to complete reading your book, shoot images for your final project, work on past assignments, print and mat images for Wednesday or final.

Questions? Ask!

Elegance

How do you make a photograph with the elegance and simplicity of a Warren MacKenzie pot? Well, you look at Warren MacKenzie pots some. You practice making images every day. The rest? I have no idea.

George Tice. Oak Tree, Holmdel, NJ.

George Tice's Oak Tree has haunted me for years. Originally shot with an 8/10" view camera, prints are available in platinum or silver. A nice platinum print of this tree goes for 12-15 thousand. My shipping address is on my blog, and my birthday is in February...
