Objective

provide basic technical, artistic, and theoretical instruction
used in the creation of digital photographic imagery. The
course will provide technical instruction concerning the operation
of digital cameras and their settings, as well as provide tips
and information to improve your photographic skills.
Assignments
Assignments will consist of individual
projects performed outside of class meeting times.
The due date is always
part of the assignment.
Late work will not be accepted.
Work may be emailed to the email address
at the top of the syllabus by Noon on Monday, the day
it is to be shown. If I receive it, you will get a confirmation email.
If you don't get an email it is your responsibility to follow up.
Do not send me a link to your photo bucket or flickr account, I want images sent
to me as jpegs or turned in on a CD-R. Please no DVD-R's.
Only turn in 5 images per assignment. Any images beyond the
first five on a disk will be ignored.
