another semester ends

Summer is offically here for those of us who teach at MIAD. I always find the end of the semester a bit disappointing. Some of the best work students create all semester is for a final assignment and there is no way to showcase that work to thier peers & the school outside of critique. In the past, I have organized a public exhibition of their work whether its in a coffee shop or city hall- this semester I was unable to find the time to make that happen. The following images are pieces from a "principles of photography" class. The students work with 4 x 5 cameras throughout the semester and their last assignment was exploring portraiture...
