photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you
know.”

Photography
2 (AKA Photo 10) is
an exploration of the visual world around us as we collect memories, thoughts,
and ideas by capturing light. In class students learn how to use and operate
cameras, from point and shoot to manual cameras composition, symbolism,
concepts, and issues. Students are introduced to a wide spectrum of the medium
from darkroom to digital. Upon completing Photography 2 (10), the
student will be able to identify and compose a successful photograph, and learn
