Today we're making a photo essay. Our theme is Linden at 1:30.
- Today your assignment is to go out into the lobby of Linden Christian and take photos there for about 20-30 minutes.
- Take lots of photos.
- Tons.
- Hundreds.
- You'll need 'em.
- You're inconveniencing people as you take pictures.
- Make sure they don't mind being photographed.
- Try to stay out of the traffic paths.
- After doing that, you'll load your photos onto the shared directory, into the Mr.Dykstra folder.
- Be sure to create a directory for yourself as you'll want to use your own photos for this.
- You are then going to pick 20 photos and stick them together in a PowerPoint presentation titled Linden at 1:30.
- Each of your 20 photos should appear on a separate slide. Thus, you'll have 20 slides.
- Your photos should rigorously follow the Rule of Thirds.
- Include a minimal amount of text with each photo, perhaps a sentence or two.
- Don't forget to save your work regularly as you prepare the presentation.
- Be careful with your photo selection.
- By the photos you pick or leave behind, you're making a statement about what Linden was like at 1:30 today.
- What is the statement you want to make? It should be a fair, and honest one.
- Was there happiness in Linden at the time? Was it busy? Was it filled with excitement?
- The camera does lie. You can leave wildly varying impressions of Linden depending on what photos you feature. Be honest.
- You may also select a PowerPoint theme for your presentation.
- Make sure it's appropriate to the image you want to present.
- The color and design of your theme can affect how your images are received.
- These are your photos and your presentation. One final slide (#21) include a copyright notice such as Copyright 2009 by Tom Smith. All rights reserved.
