...it's been a long time...

...since I've been able to get into Blogspot. I am going to attempt to "catch up" the web page. We are currently working on portraits. You should have had 12 head and shoulders shots (one person per photo) to turn in for your deadline grade on Monday, March 10th. If you missed the deadline, you still need to turn in the contact sheet of 12 photos. We are going to do quite a bit of experimentation with facial retouching with these portraits. You will have the most fun with "imperfect" people---whitening teeth, removing wrinkles, freckles, or acne (even doing a "nose job!"). We'll show before and after shots, so make sure you don't alter your original! I'll give you details on the project later. For now, check out this web page and try some techniques!
