Landscape
For this
assignment you will serve as landscape photographer. I (your instructor)
will be the photo editor, and you will be the landscape photography working on
the assignment entitled "The Cross Timbers Region...life outside
Stephenville”.
What/How do
I turn this in?
Part 1:
Seek approval of your idea through me in class, no more than 2 people are
allowed per location. Turn in a one page abstract of where you will be shooting
to your instructor via email before by Wednesday. First served.
Part 2: You
will turn in 10 images (minimum) to flickr in a set entitled "project
4"
Part 3: You will do a 5 minute presentation of your work in class on Wednesday Feb. 13 based off the subject you choose. Your presentation should include a Powerpoint slideshow along with relevant historical data to supplement your images. You will be graded based off the quality of your presentation's research and the engagement level you have with the work. Basically, if you sell to the audience that the work is interesting and you have the historical data to back it up, you will get a good grade. You make new images for this portion of the assignment if you are unsatisfied with the images from Part 2.
Why are we
doing this?
I want you
to think about the details in your photographs that tell the story, that imply
the narrative of a place. Photographers must know their subject before and
after they shoot it, and sometimes it requires research, and knowledge of a
place. Even historians are constructing a narrative with words of a place.
Maybe it is about the history of a place, maybe it is more your own personal
encounter with history that is the true story. What information can you put in
your photograph that makes more than just a random field, or barn? Think about
the details that set the scene of the story you want to tell.
Possible
locations:
