Approaching The Finish Line

Today is our last day in Photo 1 before our Final Exam.

Some of you have asked, "What is the test on Mr. Farley?" So, let me help you.


This is importat so please pay attention! (Hopefully, you noticed that I misspelled a word. Hopefully, you have corrected "arrows" on your page.)

On the final exam, you will submit your blog and your website. I will grade all of your work as part of your final portfolio. Edit your work. Check your spelling. Verify that every link works.

I will look at the first page of your blog. Do you have the correct information for your group members? Do the links work? Have you commented on their posts?

During the final, I will ask a few simple questions. I will probably give you a photo and have you edit the picture. You will probably be asked to improve the quality of the photo and write how you considered a rule of composition. You will probably need to send a message to my school email.

Remember, this is a photography class that uses computers and works in groups. I expect that you can use computers correctly by now. You may also be asked to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of working with others.

Note: I updated this post at 8:50. I added something about group work. I told my first period that they may need to answer a question about working in groups on the final exam.

1. You will post at least 5 of your best photos from this final project. (You may post as many as 10)

2. YOU must post at least 5 photos that you have taken from this project.

3. In case you did not understand the first two notes, you must have taken the photos and you must post the photos to your blog. Your group will work together; your photos might look similar, but you must take your own photos. No exceptions.

When Elvis was King and Albums were Square

Elvis Presley was born on this day in 1935. Two decades later, he would help shape a new world and a new style of music.

Yesterday we learned that the first image was transmitted to 25 cities "across the wire." This was the world that Elvis Presley knew. Just as you were born into a digital world, Elvis was born into a world that was changing.

His first album (and album cover) influenced music across the world. Twenty five years later, The Clash would release London Calling using Elvis Presley's debut album as inspiration for their cover.) Elvis was (and is) King.

What shape is an album cover?

What shape are most Instagram photos?

Let the King influence your work today. Go shoot a photo that can be squared. Title your blog post "Squre." Post one square photo. That's it.
