Cityscape/Landscape due Oct 3

Class,
Your assignment that is due for class on October 3rd is reading pages 124 - 135 on landscape and cityscape in the Digital Photographer's Handbook by Tom Ang.
Also due: 25 photos with a camera of your choice of cityscape and/or landscape. *You may do both or choose either cityscape or landscape.  **Go off campus, explore the city or parks around us.
Read the pages in the book first and remember the Andy Goldsworthy film, Rivers and Tides that we watched last class.  How do you interpret cityscape and/or landscape?
Be very mindful of how you compose your images via the camera lens.
I want to see your shots get better each week.
See you on Thursday.  Please also UPDATE YOUR BLOGS!  I am not happy about some of the blogs and some of you are really lacking in following directions.  I will have to keep class the whole class time if this does not improve.
