Next week your website will be an important tool in showing Nina your work/proposals. I will go over 4 ways to make a free website in class (wordpress.com, blogspot.com, tumblr.com and wix.com), as well as a paid option (otheropeoplespixels.com) that is very affordable and versatile. Look at these beforehand and get started if you can.
Read this article about the free options.
Come to class with your images, artist's statement and laptop, and be prepared to edit your site or work on your Google Sketchup image & project room proposal.

"The New York Times has created a new Tumblr called “The Lively Morgue” to feature images from its archive of 10 million photos. The new website grew out of an occasional series on the Times’s “Lens” photo blog. “If we published 10 of our archival images everyday, it would be at least the year 3935 before we’d shown off the entire collection,” notes writer Kerri MacDonald. You don’t have to be a complete photo freak to enjoy circa 1930s shots of cops displaying liquor bottles seized from speakeasies, but it helps."
