Fall 2012 Digital Photo II Book Projects

For anyone interested in getting a sense of what we do in ART225 - Digital Photo II, here are our most recent editions to the collection of books that we have been creating over the last three semesters. I am really proud of all of the students and their hard work and enthusiasm that has gone into creating our books this semester. These are a real treat. We spend nearly 2/3's of the entire semester working on a body of work that investigates a topic of their choosing and then we work through the process of organizing and shaping our photographs into a book format. We then publish them through blurb.com. And sometimes we even get really lucky and have someone who hand-binds & painstakingly emulsion transfer prints their book images, as in the case of Jon Slade's Itinerant Encounters. Thanks for a great semester everyone! Big hugs all around, enjoy the books, and have a fantastic break! You soooo deserve it!!
