More on the Masters of Photography Project

I wanted to provide more guidance for the Masters of Photography Project.


  • Include all 5 finished photos in one blog post.
  • Include all your original photos in the same post. (You might need to include more than 5 original photos since some students combined pictures to create a final picture.)
  • You needed to take the pictures you are including in the post.
  • If you are including pictures from your master photographer, you need permission.
  • Title "Masters of Photography - The Photographer You Chose"


In the same blog post, write a brief description about your master photographer. Discuss these topics and questions. I want to thank the students from 2nd period, especially Aashna, for helping me draft the questions below.

About the Photographer

  • Time Period
  • Location
  • Object/Subject (nature, people, war, scientific achievement)
  • What makes the photographer unique?

Your View

  • Why did you choose the photographer?
  • How did the photographer inspire you?
  • How did this change while working on the project?

Movie Monday December 8 - Robert Capa

It's another Movie Monday! 
Today we are watching our third installment of "In Love and War." 


You will submit one piece of paper for your entire group.

1-10. Each group writes ten (10) interesting facts from today's film. Take turns. Do not write twice in a row unless you are the only person in your group today. We will watch about twenty minutes of the film today (until the 1:06 mark.)

11. View Losing The Media in Afghanistan slideshow on Lens and choose the image that is most similar to one taken by Robert Capa. On your paper, list the photo number 11. You do not need to explain your reasoning. Your group must agree. Since all photographs were taken by Magnum photographer Larry Towell, your choice will probably be valid. 

Turn in one piece of paper for the group.

1. Robert Capa dated Ingrid Bergman. (#33)
...
10. Robert Capa was not his birth name (#99)

11. x of 19 (which photo is most "Capaesque")
