CONCEPT:  Spend time developing a portfolio of work that
engages galleries, museums and the media. A key question
that we will address is: What do you want to express and
why? A portfolio is an ever-evolving story that illustrates one’s
life, strengths, interests and abilities. Through viewing and critiquing our portfolios in class, we will begin a dialogue about
image-making and help students master their own vision and
express that through their portfolio. Individual assignments
will be given to help strengthen (and challenge) that vision.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Discussions about career issues,
technical issues and topics generated by the class. Slide
shows of other photographers’ work will be included later
in the week. We’ll cover a variety of image-making issues,
from the choice of subject matter to the various practical and technical options for presenting work. For ease of
sharing work, main critiques will be of slides or digital capture. Students are also free to show prints made outside of
class time. Slide film can be processed daily at a local lab
at an additional cost.

CONCEPT:  Early photographic processes — combining fine
quality papers, hand-applied emulsions and simple technology — present a compelling alternative to the silver print or
digital print. This week-long wor
