Photographer of the module: Edward Steichen (Click here for a 14 page slide show)
Each module we will have a photographer to whom we look for inspiration. You build your photographic ability by studying those that have made wonderful photographs before you and innovating from their accomplishments.
If you have not already done it, go to Flickr and sign up. If you have not joined the group, SEND ME YOUR NAME, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND YOUR FLICKR ID and I will send you another invite. (This is a private group so that we can discuss each other's photographs - you must respond to the invitation to join!) (If you are having difficulties, let me know. )

Reading

Langford's Starting Photography, Part II pages 25-55 (5th edition) OR pages 25-62 (6th edition) OR pages 25-64 (7^th edition) AND 02Module Handouts. These are available in on the HANDOUT PAGE

It would be a good idea to print out the handouts and make yourself a notebook. You might add prints of photographs that you take through the class. The notebook will become a record of your Photo Five Adventure.
