Interesting speaker tomorrow (thurs.)

Hello faculty,

Just a reminder, the Aaron Hughes lecture is tomorrow (thursday) at 12:15 in Alfond Auditorium in the MFA.

Please encourage your students to attend. Aaron is a very smart, powerful speaker and a young artist students may be able to relate to. I've talked to some of you who have students who are vets. Aaron requested that we reach out to any students vets as he would like to work with them.

It's free and open to the public, but students do need to grab a free ticket at the Fenway entrance on their way in.

Thank you so much,

Steve

Subject: Internship Opportunity
To: bonnie.donohue@smfa.edu

Dear Professor Donohue:

I am hoping you can help me find a student-photographer who might be interested in an internship/work-study opportunity with our non-profit. This is great opportunity for a student who is looking to build his/her portfolio by working with us. We are looking for someone who will provide services to support our marketing efforts and events. The photographer will take pictures of all of College Bound’s programs to be used in the organization’s annual report, website and collateral and will also be available to take day of photos for fundraising and marketing events throughout the year. The photographer will be employed as a contractor and work under the direct supervision of the Director of Development. College Bound Dorchester will provide photo credit on all collateral. This is a great opportunity to showcase work and contribute to College Bound’s mission—to equip Dorchester student with the attitude, skills and experience to graduate from college (www.collegebounddorchester.org). Rate of pay will be $25/hour, with an estimated 20-30 hours available throughout the year. Additional hours may be available.

I am most grateful for any help or suggestions you can provide.

Best,

Manuela

Great Zine/Website/Photos!

here's a really great zine or something! Unfortunately i believe all the text is in spanish. I'm not positive where the leaders are from or who the leaders are. I am mostly impressed with the work within their issues. The link will open up to their "dream issue" yet i suggest you check out their other work! Here's the FotoClub & for those who like Tumblr, you can find their blog here!

Happy thanksgiving!

Pictures from last class

Here are some pictures from the 20x24 demonstration!

Assignment

Next week in class we will be learning about various flashes.

I would like you to bring in 3-4 found photos of artificial lighting that interests you.

Bring your cameras so you can shoot in class.

This week's shooting assignment is a reprieve! Shoot photographs

of anything you feel strongly about, in a style that interests you.

Also, don't forget to bring your one found photo-that means everyone.

found artist interview channel

hello everyone! I have found this new website which has a lot of interviews from artists! I have found that i don't know all the artists off the website which interested me a lot in comparison to other websites which focus on well-known artists. It has some really cool artists, mainly all photography i believe, and they're pretty well done but they are very casual.

Tomorrow Nov. 9

Hi All,

We will be going to Mass Art at 3:15 to LOOK at the 20x24 camera.

In the morning we will watch the video on Shelby Lee Adams work and work ethics.

I will also do some explaining about on-camera flash, etc. Once that is clearly understood we can move on to the Jack Rabbit and studio strobes.

I am also looking at as many cheap underwater cameras as I can find.

Here is my plan: Everyone will get a different camera. I hope. We will see which camera works best and people can look at the different aesthetics and choose which model they would like to use. I hope to have all the cameras by next weds.

In the meantime look at this photographer's work for technique ideas.

see next post.
