assignment for this week

there is new exhibition going up at the ccp this week. i want all of you to attend it, pick one piece that you really like or really hate and write about it. Talk about its composition. Talk about what you see happening with light in the photo. Talk about what you think it's about. Then tell me what you like or dislike so strongly. If you go to the lecture, please include a few lines discussing what you thought about it as well.

The exhibition is Lynda Connor. She is a currently working photographer and teaches art in San Francisco. She trained with folks like Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. A lot of the work is quite photojournalistic in nature.

The show opens this coming friday March 27. There is a reception at 5 and Connor will be giving a lecture at 6. I suggest that you go to the friday night event. Listen to the lecture and take in the work. I've heard her talk before. She's quite funny and the work is good so it should be worth your while. If you can't on friday nite, then please see the exhibition and do the writing assignment prior to our next class meeting.

Tuesday class this assignment is due March 31
Friday class this assigment is due April 3
