Pictures of the Week December 14, 2014

PJ students at ICP shoot a variety of different themes for the weekly “Picture Making on the Street” course. This course has students submit a selection of images every week for a group critique lead by each respective instructor.

This week PJ students had the day long exam for the digital seminar. Students had to walk into a room filled with newspaper articles at 10am and then had four hours to research, gain access, and then meet a deadline with all images processed correctly by 2pm. This practical assignment was followed by a two hour long written test. Some of the images below were made during this assignment.
