You will be responsible for creating a photo documentary to present to our class. At this point, I am leaving the general topic of the presentation up to you, but the following criteria should be met:

//More explanation of the assignment tomorrow. Bring colours to use. You will need them.//
 * Your documentary should be meaningful.
 * There should be a cohesive and definite tone to your work.
 * //You should have a PLAN for your shots beforehand. What imagery and approach are you going for?//
