How Are They Different?

Your next assignment is an expoloration of light and shadows.

First, I want you to study light for a day or two. Just notice it--when is it strongest? when is it softest? how does it make you feel? does it remind you of anything? how does it describe objects/people/places? how does it create a mood? does it create a mood?

THEN, I want you to expose two rolls of film in which you concentrate on using light symbolically. Think about what you want to say/convey.

Remember that one of the goals of this course is for you to discover through photography what is meaningful to you. This is more challenging that learning all the technical stuff.

Due next week: 2 rolls of film, exposed, processed, and contact printed.
