Digital Photo II: Making Memories



Smith, Eugene - Walk to Paradise Garden, 1946
Smith, Eugene – Walk to Paradise Garden, 1946

Essential Questions:
Think about and answer the following questions in a blog post:
  • What are key images that represent the most important people, places and things in your life?
  • How can photography be used to preserve or remind us of memories?
  • How does the way an image is shot and printed affect the tone, mood and meaning of that image?
  • What power do photographic images have to tell a personal story? What is not visible in images?
  • How do words–titles, captions and descriptions–enhance (or take away) from the meaning of a photographic image?
Project Requirements:  You need to capture of the following seven subjects from your daily life…
  • People who matter the most to you (2 or more)
  • Places that matter the most to you (2 or more)
  • Things (objects) that matter the most to you (2 or more)
  • A person, place or thing that will disappear for you in the next three years, or will never be the same (at least 1 image)
Each subject needs to be photographed two different ways (ie, up close and far away; different angles; different light). Remember, every choice you make as a photographer can add to the meaning of the subject in some way. Think about what you know about design and composition from earlier assignments.
Keep a journal for this projects (can be a Word document). Write freely about each of your subjects (people, places and things). What do they mean to you? Why did they deserve to be preserved or remembered through photography?  I do not need to see this journal.
Post all photos to your blog by 2-12.
