We will begin our work in a month and it is not too early to start looking for a project to shoot for the coming semesters. In Documentary the project is critical and will support your growth as a photographer and documentarian, I cannot overstate the importance of this. And so I invite you to use this time to create a list of possible subjects and begin researching. Along with access and availability the research you do will help form your point of view. For some of you this might seem basic and it is, for others this might be a blind spot in your work. No worries, e-mail (or phone) me directly and we can work through whatever block you might be wrestling.
