Week two

 This is wall art in my living room.
 This is the bus I drove daily. At the Gilder Boat House In Derby CT.
 This is a cloud. I like to call it a duck in the sky.
 This is cold sassafras tea.
 This is the windshield of my bus that got hit by something while I was driving.
This is street lights on college street downtown New Haven outside the Omni Hotel.

  1. Shema, it is important to read the syllabus each week and work on the assignment for the week. Since you drive to the boathouse, perhaps you could have found a few minutes to walk along the river looking for reflections and compositions involving water, rocks trees, etc... Here is what the syllabus says for this week:

    Week 3

    Assignment: By the Sea

    Look at Weston's work at Point Lobos, California. What kind of light did he photograph under? How did he move in and compose what ever he was looking at? For each photograph, consider the point of view Weston and the camera position.

    Weston got down, got close to these rock forms on the beach. I want you to do the same

    Read this short biography of Ansel Adams.Watch this slide show of selected images from his classic work in Yosemite National Park.

    Look at these digital books by John Paul Caponigro.

    You are to visit the beach, and look carefully at form, light, composition and line. Examine tidal pools, rock formations and sand patterns with the curiosity and freshness of a young child, say a toddler. Move in close, fill the frame..Submit your best 6-10 images on the blog. (Links in academic expectations below). If you live well inland and would prefer to visit a waterfall or brook with moving water, that would work too.

    A walk by a stream or pond will work for this assignment will work as well for this assignment. The main idea is to get outside and into nature... look at reflections and movement in the water.
