Photo Journal

One of the goals of this course is to get students thinking about photography as a way to communicate, as a way to express ideas, and as a way to develop a deeper understand of the world around them.

Over the course of this semester, you will be required to produce a photo journal that responds to a variety of topics. Fear not - this is a PHOTOGRAPHY class. Each week you will take a handful of photos that respond to a prompt or topic. No writing or explanation needed.

But - there is a catch!

The connection between the photo and the topic must be clear and accessible by the audience / viewer!
