Clarification to Masha

Polaroid 55 is black&white film, not color. It can be used for making color prints with the gum bichromate process in alt. process... but it is not a color neg.

Megan's Notes

-I signed up a studio time with Cho on Wed at 3:30. He's going to review with me the strobe light. And hopefully, I can get a model for the demo. If not, then I'll just use a still life then.

-Then I'll be practicing on Thursday at 9:30.

-Here are some links that I'll be getting lighting info from. www.studiolighting.net

And I was thinking about putting up pics from my practice photo shoot on istock.com and flickr.com

Questions for Sarah

Sorry you are sick!

Could you post the link to Amy Dresser's website. It might be fun for us to look at.

I'll send an e-mail today about lynda.com. If you aren't too sick you can try that from home and let us know how the tutorials are.

Things I've done so far:

-Found out the name of Jill Greenberg's photo retoucher: Amy Dresser
-Found a website that has a tutorial on how Amy retouches her photos. I tried it myself, and it went ok. I've been trying to practice, and i think it's been getting better.
-I've been reasearching general retouching techniques. Such as, skin smoothing and how to get rid of dark under eye circles. I've tried them out and been pretty happy with the results.
-I've been working pretty hard trying to retouch some of my own photos, and it's been going pretty well, so I think I'm on the right track.
