Field Trip

Friday I took my large format/studio lighting photography class on a field trip. First we went to Newdale, a small farming community, to photograph tall vertical buildings (grain silos). Their assignment is designed to help them use the view camera to reduce or eliminate vertical and horizontal convergence like this sample photograph:

The students spent about 90 minutes photographing while I wandered around helping the student groups. It was fairly productive I think.

After photographing we then took a drive over the pass and into Jackson Hole, Wyoming to view photographs in various galleries. There was an Arnold Newman show at the Jackson Center for the Arts, a Roman Loranc show at the Oswald Gallery, and various other work in other galleries. It was a great time, the students enjoyed the art work, and one or two students may have arranged for internships.
