For Monday:
1) Look back at your list of photographers listed in the Szarkowski reading. Pick one or two, and see what you can find out about him or her using Google, Wikipedia: try to get a feel for that photographer's pictures, and style. How does it relate to Eggleston?
2) Over the weekend, compose a photo-essay of 4-6 photos (somehow influenced by the photos you've viewed). Try NOT to simply make the essay tell a story. Post these on your blog. Half the class will present Mon, half will present Wed.
3) For Friday, you will need to read Susan Sontag's "In Plato's Cave" which is in On Photography, and also available as a link on this blog. If you are writing a Reflection Paper for Friday, then please consider Sontag's ideas alongside your own. Even if you are not writing a Reflection Paper, please write a short (2 paragraph) summary of Sontag's essay on your blog, and please list any questions it raised for you.
