Oh, and this SX-70 (I think it’s Colleen Logue’s):
(Somebody can take their sharpening tool to this one, but don’t let all the charm ooze out of it.)
How’s this for a succinct set of concerns?
“The technical aspects of the workshop were mercifully brief:
1. Shoot wide—Peter asked that we use a single focal length wide angle lens in the range of 28–35mm field of view (FOV) either by using a prime or fast wide zoom. If using a zoom, he asked us to actually tape the zoom at that one focal length.
2. Get close.
3. Shoot in shutter-priority mode at a shutter speed sufficient to freeze action on the street (typically 125th or 250th of a second) and adjust ISO so that the resulting aperture is small enough to provide sufficient depth of field.
4. Try to capture the subjects within their context.
5. Watch your frame lines.
6. No flash.
That’s it! We didn’t discuss gear; RAW vs. JPEG; photo editing software or techniques, or any of that.”

This is flying all over the World Wide Intercom, so we’re chiming in. It’s good.
“Painting is the tougher of the two mediums to use at first, but photography becomes the hardest after you have been at it.”
“I never will make an accidental photograph.”
Read this before you use other artists’ work as a starting point: http://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/
…and review the guidelines from the College Board: “Any work that makes use of (appropriates) photographs, published images and/or other artists’ work must show substantial and significant development beyond duplication. This is demonstrated through manipulation of the formal qualities, design, and/or concept of the source. The student’s individual ‘voice’ should be clearly evident. It is unethical, constitutes plagiarism, and often violates copyright law simply to copy an image (even in another medium) that was made by someone else and represent it as one’s own.”
I remember exposures and development details of specific negatives (f/16, 1/4 second, handheld):
I remember the venues in which I saw certain films (e.g. the Granada, “The Grateful Dead Movie,” for an unconscionable-at-the-time five dollars).
I remember the smell of 620 Verichrome Pan wrappers & discharged #5 flashbulbs, and the sound the bulbs made.
I remember Miles at the Quiet Knight, when he first went electric.
I remember Duke Ellington and Paul Gonsalves at Harper, in the last month of their lives.
I remember what Thelonious said to me.
I remember walking up Wells Street with Mingus, in search of cookies.
Summer School Fo-Do, one of the better experiences in Barrington Huge School (if done right, with commitment and enthusiasm) will run from 7:20 to 12:00, June 13-July 1.
