Assignment #1 - Make A Photograph

So gang, Assignment #1 is officially here now. Get the Holga out, load it up, and go make a photograph. Do both me and you a favor though and please do NOT just make a photograph of a 'thing'. Please make a photograph that tells me something. Have something to say. Have a reason to push the button.

We saw in the roll from class that the Holga really does need to have light in order to make a good exposure. The film that we shot in the classroom, the hallway, in the darker shade of the atrium, those images were all very underexposed. The shots that were in the direct sunlight were exposed properly. Please make sure you are shooting in an environment that gives you plenty of light. Give the Holga a fighting chance to make a good exposure.

Come back with that exposed roll by next Monday and be prepared to process your film. I know that there will be MANY of you who have trouble loading your film onto the reel, so we'll plan to do the loading in the darkroom with the lights off instead of cramming all of you into the little tiny film loading room.

Good luck!
