Simplicity Photo Essay

As you know, the theme at NFS this year is Simplicity.  Over the course of the year, we've heard many queries and completed several buddy meeting activities that address simplicity.  A powerful concept, simplicity can be interpreted in countless ways.

Your assignment is to work as a team to shoot, edit, and assemble a photo essay around the theme of simplicity.

Here are your teams:

• Marie-Louise, Katharine, Brandon
• Cleo, Sel, Eesha
• YeonJae, Max, Robert, Harrison
• Holdyn, Sarah, Elikem, Evan
• Leo, Joe, Mike, Sookhee

Here are the requirements:

• take turns using the camera
• shoot at least 100 pictures
• you can shoot anything within reason ~ portrait, still life, landscape, and action shots are all okay
• select and edit 8-10 photos to include in your photo essay
• use iPhoto or a web-based photo editor that you know to edit your shots; please do not use PhotoShop unless you have experience using the program; it is okay to make your photos black and white, sepia, etc. but this is certainly not required
• write a caption for each photo in the photo essay ~ the captions can be one word to one paragraph in length
• develop a creative title for your photo essay
• post your photos with the captions here on this blog by Friday ~ be sure to include your team members' first names

Eighth graders, I'm counting on you to use your experience with Blogger and troubleshoot any technical difficulties together.
