SCS2114: The Next Assignment

First, just a reminder that there's no class on Monday, October 25; the next class is November 1, and so the next assignment is due by the end of the day on Saturday, October 30. (If for whatever reason you're running behind, make sure to have all three assignments posted to the class blog by then.)

The next assignment? Turn photos—your own photos—into a story. Grab a digital camera, go exploring around your neighbourhood or your street or your city or your backyard or your alleyway, and find a story or explore an idea through anywhere from four to ten photos, and 150–800 words. The words and photos of a post should complement one-another; it might help to think of this assignment as something a little bit like creating a slideshow. Figuring out the subject of that slideshow...well, that's the hard part.

A guy named Val Dodge, whose blog is called Dodgeville, does these sort of things really well. Here are a few examples of something like what I'm looking for: "Bridge from the past," "My own personal G20," and "Warning or invitation?"

Before you start adding images to your post, take a look at my instructions—for now, ignore the first bit about where to find an image.
