Update of Assignments/Kudos/Tips

It has been some time since I have posted onto the blog. I felt we were in need of an update. I have had the opportunity to view/mark many of the rain/water and glacier shots. Many of you have amazed me with your talent. I was pleased to see the shots you were able to get from the school of the glacier.
Kudos
 I want to send some kudos out to students who I have noticed have been pushing the boundaries in a good way in class. First kudo goes to Alex Bowen who shot over 1000 photos between provincial volleyball and the grad fashion show, way to go you are on your way to becoming a pro. Alex has also been responsible for many of the slideshows that have been up in the hall. The next kudo goes to Alaia Fayard who has just published her first book on seaside creatures and includes all her own photos, congrats! Copies are $18.00 if you are interested and will be for sale in our local bookstores. Next kudos to Taylor Dueck who has independently taken the time to learn the art of light photography, and has produced some very interesting pieces. Briana Pierce has been pushing the boundaries everyday in learning new techniques in photoshop. She has created some interesting pieces and has been teaching me some new tricks. I continue to see many amazing shots using various angles, macro shots and being able to conceptualize some of the assignments. Increasingly, I look forward to our final photo book for the semester and your portfolio presentations.
