Narrative Methodology

Your assignment:

Narrative Methodology

There are ten weeks left of school. For the rest of the semester you will work on a Narrative Methodology that fits your sensibilities as a photographer. You will work on creating a body of work. Make digital contact sheets: I want at least 75 images per week. 100 is even better. That’s not that many - think of it as three rolls of film. We will have periodic work in progress critiques. These crits will include the contact sheets and five work prints. The way you choose to lay out your contacts is up to you and is part of your methodology.

From Wikipedia:
Methodology is defined as (1) "a body of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline", (2) "a particular procedure or set of procedures", or (3) "the analysis of the principles or procedures of inquiry in a particular field"[1]. The common idea here is the collection, the comparative study, and the critique of the individual methods that are used in a given discipline or field of inquiry.

In other words, your methodology is the way you work, the way you organize your images, the way you lay out your contact sheets.
Wednesday we will look at several short videos of photographers at work and describing their own methodologies.

Wednesday, October 11 is a lecture day.
First work in progress critique: October 18th.
