Description

What does contemporary America really look like? What does it mean? Perhaps no single photograph can describe the zeitgeist, particularly now; but, cumulatively, a grouping of photographs might. This is a picture-maker’s course—whether you would like to look at the social landscape, the political landscape, the built landscape, the psychological landscape, or the poetic landscape. This is a course that will welcome such efforts. No previous photographic experience is necessary, just a willingness to work at getting to the heart of the matter—which is essential. The teaching method will be weekly discussions and critiques of student work.
