Summer Photography Assignments

WOO WHOOO...Summer is upon us. The problem with summer for me is this . . . I just got my senior photographers trained and now they are leaving! So, I have decided to implement summer photography assignments and reading for my incoming juniors of my Commercial Photography class at Texas High School in Texarkana.

In addition to the reading I will post assignments for students to complete. Images from these assignments can be posted to the Effective Aperture Flickr Group for critique and discussion.

Also I am looking for other photography educators to be moderators on the EA Flickr group. If you are interested feel free to contact me.

If you are not a "regular" student of mine and are one of my workshop students or even a student or educator from another school, you can purchase the books we will be using by clicking on the reccomended reading thumbnails on the right side of this blog and purchasing these fine books from Amazon.

Below is the required reading for Comm Photo I students at THS.
