Welcome! and Photo Websites!

Willkommen!

This blog is meant to be an online space for you and your classmates to post photos you find throughout the semester. Small assignments will be given to you to complete outside of class. Prompts will be given such as, "Find three photos that share the same subject but are taken from different viewpoints."

In order to access the site, you need to give your email address to Kelly or Ms. James, so that they can invite you to be an author of the blog. Being an author means that you have access to the blog and are free to post whenever you need to complete an assignment or would like to post an image you've found on your own.

Try to choose interesting images for your posts or photos that you love. Pay attention to the following, as guides for determining whether or not a photo is strong:
  • Unusual subject matter
  • The usual seen in an unusual way
  • Interesting composition
  • Capturing a moment that is changing
  • Makes a strong statement or mood.
