Starting a Blog

Here is a tutorial on how to set-up a blog, but I will show you in class:
Blogger Tutorial

If you already have a blog, then you can use your previous Photo class blog. After you have signed into your blog and have it up and running, email your blog URL to me at dusher@sd35.bc.ca  so I can mark you and what you do this semester.

When you are setting up your user information, keep you name anonymous ie. only first name or your initials and photo so no one can lurk you.

Assignment: Find at least 5 examples of good photos and post them to your blog and explain why you think this is a good photo based on the discussion last class and intuitively.

Your login is your BCESIS# (student # on timetable). ie. 1234567

Silver and Light Video

Silver and Light

This project was created with the same spirit that america was founded on. Our intentions are to connect everyone in america through the lens of this camera and social networking sites. We can't do this without you. We want to tell your story and show your city or town through photographs of you, and people you know. As we travel around america looking for people and places to shoot you will be able to keep track of where we are going and help us decide where we go next. Join us in our journey by liking our facebook to get yourself photographed by us.

An extra special thanks to Brandon Rein, Scotty Hoffman and Trevor Atwater.
