Materials
- Source Materials
- Starting on the second day, we'll be working with photographs that you've taken. More information is provided at the end of the third in-class assignment, but you'll need to bring in a number of photographs the second day. This could be through email or on USB thumb drives.
Required Texts (none!)
There are no required texts for this workshop. Glossy books are nice to hold and look at, but they are expensive and annoying when you have to move. More importantly, they are out of date the moment they are published. Many good resources are avaialble online, and the slides have some links to external pages.
