Spring Break

PHOTOS uploaded and Written portions DUE: Thursday April 4th (The Thursday we return from Spring Break

FINAL DIGITAL JOURNAL DUE: THURSDAY April 11th 2013 ) 

Over break, You will be responsible for creating the images and written descriptions to create a digital photo journal. As always, the project has been outlined below.

 “How do I do that?” you ask..
1. Over the course of the weekend and 4 days off, document your thoughts and feelings about particular people, places, and events you visit or encounter. Not only must you photograph these people, places or things, but you must keep a written journal about what you experience during this time.  
2. Choose a theme, for example "all the food I ate" or "all the people I encountered" etc. Your theme may not become apparent until after you've shot for a few days, so shoot EVERYTHING, from your sports practice, your vacation, family time, etc.

3. When you return from Spring Break, we will view your journals and upload your pictures and you will make a digital version of the hand written example above.. (Details about what will be done IN CLASS will follow) The final project will be a digital photography book.

“So how do I start?” You ask..
Start SHOOTING and WRITING.. as soon as you leave school this Thursday.. the more you document, the more material you will have for your digital journal. Do not save this assignment for the weekend before you return to school, your lack of effort will be obvious and your grade will reflect it.

“What are the specifics?” you ask..
You must have AT LEAST 50 photographs (that’s less then 10 a day for those of you breaking it down). And for each photo, a detailed description of your thoughts, feelings, or surroundings at the time the picture was taken. You might not use all the photos in your final compilation, but you will need to have them on Thursday, when we return to school, for full credit. 

THIS IS A MAJOR ASSIGNMENT
