Our second project (PDF) was purposed to increase student comfort with the 35mm cameras. By documenting the aperture and shutter speed of every shot, the students build a personal framework of basic image capture principles. These tabulations (when compared to the final image and in relation to the techniques employed in the darkroom) helps them troubleshoot their process.

The content of this assignment was entirely of their choosing. It was secondary to the importance of recording their process. As a result the images serve as an honest documentation of the students' daily lives - moments when they had time to jot down a few notes and just spend time with the camera.
