Next week start class with a photo you bring in that you may have a question about,
technically, aesthetically, politically, what does it mean, why is it good, etc,etc.

Bring your camera to school and start shooting "school " photos during the week.

Buy or go online to read, "WAYS OF SEEING" by John Berger. It is in the library but is worth owning.
