Fall Semester - WEEK 1

This week has been a very eventfull week.

Monday: I had Commercial/Illustration Photography class.  There will be an assignment every week.  The 1st assignment is a group shot.  I will be taking this on Sunday while working with a group of people for a Comic Book Project. The photos from this project will not be posted at all until it is finished & published.  But my class of 16 will at least get to see a group shot from 1 scene.

Tuesday: Large Format class.  I was assigned a monorail all manual 4x5 large format film camera for the semester. We went over details on the camera & how we will go about loading film in 100% darkness, as any light at all will ruin the film.  Plus we were told we would need a cable release for it & a heavy duty tripod by next Tuesday.  Nothing like notice.  :)

Wednesday: open shoot day for my Mondays class..  since mine is scheduled on Sunday, I relaxed.

Today: Prime Doc class.  Heather's classes are always fun. Most of everyone in there knew others as well, so it made for a nice environment. This class will be field trips every week, starting with a breakfeast place (which i plan to do every week as well). I will shoot the entire semester with a 50mm prime & make weekly blog posts on what we did and a photo.

Also today I ran to Sahara Camera & Caseys Camera stores to pick up supplies.  Sahara had the tripod i wanted, cable release, and 4x5 negative protectors.  Caseys had the film i needed plus their mounting boards & paper are alot cheaper there.
