Photography - "My Hood"


My Hood



Your neighbourhood is alive. People, houses, restaurants, automobiles, churches, animals, and so much more. Take 10 photos in your neighbourhood. 5 can be of anything you want. 5 must be based on the following:
1.    people
2.    architecture
3.    change
4.    the arts
5.    nature

Write a one page (double-spaced) description of your photo assignment that discusses your inspiration, your goals, history of your neighbourhood, how long your family has been there (or anything else you want to write about with respect to this assignment).
Remember, you are telling a story visually. The written component is to help fill in the gaps J
