EXTRA HELP

I hope everyone is excited about printing and ready to make beautiful prints!
I am willing to come in on Sunday (tomorrow) to help with printing- but i am only to come in if i know people will be there. I will come in only if people respond to this post and let me know a time to come. So- if you want me to come- respond with the time frame you will be there and i will attempt to stop by during that time for about 2 hours or so.
Happy printing!

FRIDAY HAPPENINGS!

FRIDAY IS A DAY FOR FUN!

hello class!

so tomorrow is a big day- we are going to make contact prints and learn split filter printing!

Things you need for class-

Developed negatives in plastic negative sleeves

paper

closed-toed shoes

a towel

a apron

a good attitude!

we will go over the process and make some prints- it is going to be fun. i promise.

THE HARN!!!

http://www.harn.ufl.edu/

also- just a reminder- i am still going to the Harn at 2 and will be able to drive 4 people if you want- or you can just meet us at the Harn- I think it is a good idea to see as much art as possible- it will help influence your own work and give you an idea about what is happening in contemporary art and a look back at where art has been. It will be a nice outing. Please consider coming. We will meet at 1:50 on the corner of 13th street and Inner Road (SW 5th ave) where me and my car will be waiting. Email me if you are thinking about coming so I have an idea of the number of people. Bring your student ID

This will be a great opportunity to look at the photography collection and get ideas of photographers to incorporate in your Visual Research Notebook.

I just had a very retro day- shot a few rolls of film and went to buy records with my roommate. It was fun.

SUCCESS!!

I wanted to thank everyone for having film ready to develop on friday- good work. Remember to keep shooting! Craig wants 5 rolls of film for this project- that is more than one a week- so get on it! Remember that your images should have a concept and something that connects them together- if you want to run this idea by me let me know, we can meet before or after lecture next week.

AND don't forget

Visual research Notebooks!!!!!

I want to see images!!!!

have a great weekend!

I'm scared that I'm rewinding my film wrong... I'm supposed to feel tension and then know its almost ready but I don't really know how much tension the manual means. I'm just going to leave it in the camera until tomorrow??

Friday Lab- Sept 17th

Into the darkroom we will go!

On friday we will be getting our hands wet (literary) and begin processing our black and white film! It is important that on Friday you bring-

1. at least one roll of black and white film which you have shoot (remember bracketing!)

2. a developing tank (if you have one- the lab also has them)

3. a towel or something to dry your hands with

4. wear closed toed shoes

5. your negative sleeves to put your negatives in after they have been processed and dried

6. scissors if you have them

7. paper (we may have time to make contact sheets....)

8. Energy!

I am looking forward to doing the demo and seeing what types of photos you all have been taking...
