LECTURE FROM MS CHASE: After spending a lot of time marking on the weekend, I am very disappointed in the amount of work that is still incomplete. The good news is what I did see was of decent quality. May I remind you to use your class time effectively and if you cannot seem to manage this, then you should be in during flex time or using your phone cameras to do homework in this class. This means shooting at home and loading your shots onto Flickr from the Flickr Photo App. The bad news for some of you is since we are at the half way point in the course, I have to email/call parents this week and let them know you have an Incomplete so far in this course. You can still get the work done and I will still mark the work up until Fri. March 12. ALL WORK MUST BE FULLY COMPLETE AND ON FLICKR IN ALBUMS TO BE MARKED.
Use this week to get caught up on all assignments that are incomplete. You have until FRIDAY MARCH 12 to complete all incomplete work, including the MACRO assignment. If the work is NOT done by this date, zeros will be replace the Incomplete status.

GIVE THE BLACK AND WHITE LESSON DURING THE SECOND CLASS OF THIS WEEK. STUDENTS NEED MON/TUES TO GET CAUGHT UP.
THIS WILL BE THE ONLY NEW ASSIGNMENT FOR THIS WEEK: only move on to this if all other work is fully complete. Reminder you can always work on getting good photos for your year end slideshow as well.
Black and White Photography: 5 shots. The Focus of Black and White Photography is on CONTRAST. Use Photoshop to edit your photos so you can use lightness and contrast when editing. But keep in mind it is not as simple as shooting anything and then turning it to black and white. Green and red show up as grey in black and white photography. You should experiment and try to aim for artistic photographs in this assignment. Choosing what you shoot will be as important as how you shoot. For example turning a photo of a garbage can into black and white technically meets the criteria, but shooting a white moon shell on a black background will get you a way better grade because the subject matter is more artistic.

Ansel Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West. He helped found Group f/64, an association of photographers advocating "pure" photography which favored sharp focus and the use of the full tonal range of a photograph. Adams was a life-long advocate for environmental conservation, and his photographic practice was deeply entwined with this advocacy. At age 12, he was given his first camera during his first visit to Yosemite National Park.
