Recommended preparation
An interest in photography and willingness to mix up personal/interdisciplinary interests with artful production. As there are only a limited number of UW-owned cameras available for check-out, students who do not already own a 10+ megapixel digital camera are encouraged to purchase one (or otherwise obtain access for the length of the quarter). Film cameras OK. Email the instructor with any questions or recommendations.
Class assignments and grading
Weekly assignments loosely correlated to content covered during lectures. Students are encouraged and expected to merge own interests with artistic production (including some writing).
