In class, we will construct a pinhole camera. Then we will go out and create photographs with our new camera!

Photographing people doesn't always mean a portrait. Sometimes a larger scene can tell as much about people and their lives as a more conventional portrait. Joel Meyerowitz wandered the streets of New York City with his 35mm camera leaving himself alert for coincidental elements, like these similarly colored jackets and centered shadows marching into a street-level cloud of urban steam.

For discussion: Do you find this image appealing. Does it seem easy to mimic? Do you notice the repetition of visual elements right away or do you have to search for them? 

Group Discussion in class and then go out in groups and photograph what you see, and find interesting. Turn in to Google Classroom.
