Click below for your Photo-of-the-Day.
The Photo-of-the-Day discussions are meant to help you practice analyzing pictures and using the language of photography. In addition it is a graded activity. We will do these at the very beginning of class on Mondays and Fridays. Please be prepared to discuss as soon as I finish attendance. Each month you will be expected to make a set number of comments in the class discussion. This is meant to be a discussion amongst the entire class, so be sure to pay attention to what others are saying. You may choose to respond to their ideas. As we progress throughout the year your comments will become more complex and will utilize more photographic terminology as we learn new things. To get us started here are a few ideas of what you might choose to comment on.
*Why you like or dislike the photo
*What you feel the photo means or what it makes you think about
*How and why you think the photographer drew you to a specific subject within the frame
*Elements of composition the photographer used or should have used
*How you believe the photo was created or edited
*How the photo compares to others you've seen

Read a little about him and the controversy surrounding him at the following links. Then, be prepared to discuss the following questions:

- Did he change it enough to make it his own?
- Is he a hypocrite for then suing someone who used his image?
