Digital Photography is an introduction to the world of photography. Students will be introduced to the past, present and future of photography, as well as the men and women who have shaped the art of photography throughout its history.

Students are not required to purchase a personal digital camera. However, because of the shortage of cameras, students are encouraged to bring or purchase their own cameras if possible. Please click here (updated) to see my camera recommendations if you plan on purchasing a camera for the class. There will also be available the option to use traditional cameras in class and scan work in for further editing. This option will cost the student additional money because of film processing costs, but can also give additional options. Details about this option will be discussed in class.

There is a $30 class fee. This fee covers the costs of: printing photographs, burning CD's, and matboard for matting final projects. Checks need to be addressed to FTHS and paid at the Student Store. Bring the receipt from the student store so that you can be checked off as having paid.

Notebooks will be required for note taking, and will be checked without notice. It is expected that each student will take detailed notes as to follow the requirements of the assignments.

I am very excited to be teaching this course, and I look forward to exploring the world of photography, expressing ideas and concepts through the medium, and for each student to find his or her voice in their images. Shoot away!
