In this course, we are trying to do two somewhat different things: read key literature and think critically about what we are doing; and develop your hands-on skills.

Students will vary in their prior experience and in what they need.

Each week we will engage in some reading/conceptual work, and some hands-on work.  I will provide lots of links to information elsewhere, especially about technical aspects of photography, so that people who are less experienced will have resources to help them without our spending excessive class time on basics.

Similarly with software: there exists a wide range of software, from basic to advanced, and participants will vary in which they are familiar with and how skilled they are.

Each time I have taught this class, the needs have been different. We’ll adapt as needed, and add “lab” sessions if needed.
