What’s Due This Week?  May 24 – May 31

Hi everyone this is our set up week.  This week you will get all systems up and running. 

-You have downloaded and installed either the free Picasa3 from Google or Photoshop (either Elements, $79 retail big box stores or $50 discounted online)

-You have taken a self portrait, interpreted any way from a straight ahead shot, to the most abstract.  Look at http://flickr.com for some ideas… search: self portrait.  You have opened the image on your computer, and edited it for color, light and contrast and perhaps cropping if necessary.

-You have posted this image to the class blog, along with a short introductory bio. http://mod52010digitalphotography.blogspot.com/

-You have commented on a minimum of two of your classmates posts on the blog.

-You have set up your fotothing account at http://fotothing.com and have posted your url (screen name) to the class blog so I can find you and add you to my list of friends. Post 2-6 of your best self portraits on your fotothing account.

-If you have done all of these things, I will record 2 present attendance records for you for the week.

Did you know that the Registrar’s office scans the attendance records each day and if they find that you have been absent for the first two weeks, that you will be administratively withdrawn from the class?  Reinstatement takes my permission and a $250 fee.  I don’t want to see that happen to anyone.  Please call me at home or email me if you are having any technical difficulties.  It is very important that you get off to a good start and build momentum from there. Looking forward to seeing you get to work!
