Photography & Advanced Photography
“Some photographers take reality… and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.” – Ansel Adams
A little background information on ole Ansel and why you should maybe want to think about getting inspired by him:
Born in 1902, Ansel Easton Adam would become the most celebrated landscape photographer of his generation, a passionate environmentalist who’s black and white landscapes of the American West are still believed to be amongst the finest ever created. There are few voices on the subject of taking photographs that carry as much weight as that of Ansel Adams, and few that provide such a wealth of wisdom and inspiration. But that's not why I love him... #allaboutperspectivefolks

Why the camera? Why not?!
In this class I look forward to providing multiple opportunities and projects that might just awaken, inspire, and develop your current photography skills! In addition to exploring individual and collective interests we will constantly join the conversation of what is a "good photograph" - or - "what makes a photograph great?" At the end of the semester students will have the chance to sell their work during all school exhibition and Senior Ted Talks.
4 Projects Total: "Get Snapping" -

Ideas for Individual Photo Projects from WHEREVER you are -
One challenge we know many are facing is the inability to get out and about with their cameras due to rules about self-isolation, lock-downs and mandated quarantines.
As a result this week we wanted to send you some suggestions about how to do some photography - at home.
Many of these projects are things you could do by yourself (or with your family) to get your mind off the current crisis and to tap into some creativity.
