Topic 1: Goals

My goals for this class are:
To be more comfortable with taking pictures on the fly and get over the feeling of invading someones privacy.
Just go for it.
Also, to find the interesting parts of campus-nooks and crannies where the magic happens.

Topic 2:

Herb Ritts was a fashion photographer that focused on black and white using the style of Greek sculptures as inspiration.
He died December 26, 2002 and had lived in Los Angeles his entire life.

His claim to fame seems to be in his particular style of close ups that often, as mentioned above, have a very sculpture like physique about them- he used clean lines.
It is said on his website that he was very committed to HIV/AIDS causes, and his photos often blur the lines between gender and race.
He also did video as well for music and advertisements.
Lots of body.


Topic 3:

I would like to get some photographs of the garden club out at work
and maybe do some of the commuter.
You mentioned the kitchen earlier which sounds super cool to capture.

Details? Not sure, unfortunately I have class during the garden club, but I might do some on their next clean up event.
