Adjustments and Announcements

We may not have a classroom on Wednesday, April 25, so be sure to bring your cameras. My plan to give a quiz on Friday may be thwarted by a broken copy machine, but be sure to read the photography time-line in the book appendix anyway.

I was directed to an interesting web site/blog called "Shorpy" this morning. It has vintage photographs. The intention appears to be photographs in the 100 year old range, but there are many from more recent times including a selection from the FSA photographs of the Depression. You should check out the link I've added to this page.

APA/LA has announced a special event on May 10, 2007 entitled "There's Always Room at the Top: How to Get There and Stay There." Three photographers will speak, so it counts for the third writing project. One of the photographers is Doug Menuez, an absolutely wonderful shooter whose photographs documenting the rise of Silicon Valley has been acquired by the Stanford University Collection. Check out his website.
