Assignment #4 - A State of Mind (5 sheets)
We’ve discussed perspectives on the beauty and darkness of the American vernacular and Edward Hopper’s influence on American photographers and filmmakers who explore themes of mystery, sadness, alienation, and desire.  Expose 5 sheets of 4x5 film revealing how color, light, space, and symbols can suggest possibilities of psychological and emotional states.  You might consider photographing environments without human presence such as domestic or other kinds of interiors and/or natural, suburban, or urban landscapes.  Consider how time-of-day influences the mood of the scene and our perception of the mundane.  

Bring processed film to class on Monday, March 26 (if possible). Two prints are due for critique on Monday, April 2.
