Yay!
Yay! More assignments. I’m sure by the 4th or 5th semester I’ll be tired of assignments. So when I read back to these first days I hope it reinspires me and kicks some motivation in my ass. Right now, I’m really glad for assignments as I get to go experiment with specific objectives. Here’s another assignment for PH601.
Description
In The Photographer’s Eye, John Szarkowski writes about the impossibility of factuality in an image, regardless of the photographer’s ability to be convincing. Please take two photographs of a person or object that follow these guidelines:
- The first image should be as objective as possible.
- The second image should display an intentional or overt subjectivity. Please identify the subjective elements of the second photograph.
Discuss the images you took for this assignment. Do you feel that your first image was truly objective? Please explain. Be sure to review your classmate’s assignments and participate in the discussion of the objectivity/subjectivity of the posted assignments.
Purpose:
To demonstrate understanding of the photographer’s influence on the objectivity/subjectivity of an image.
Woot! I’m done with my second semester!
May 20th, 2010This is what it felt like to finish the semester!
Yippee!!! I’m done with my second semester at AAU. I took three classes this term. WHAT WAS I THINKING???
I work F/T for myself as a photographer. I take 3 graduate classes. I have a P/T job to pay for school.
For 15 weeks all I did was work, sleep, eat, and study.
Grades: A, A, B+ Not too bad. Overall GPA 3.86. Not too bad.
I’m not taking any summer classes due (mostly) to financial reasons. I am only taking 2 classes in the Fall and I’ll entertain a Winter Intersession so I don’t prolong my program. The MFA schedule listed above gets modified in a few days. The old schedule will remain so you and me can see how it changes over time.
Time to go work downtown.
