Order for Readings

For the readings that were given out on Tuesday the best order is the following:
1. Guy Debord, Writings from the Situationist International
2. Michele de Certeau, The Practice of Everday Life
3. Francesco Careri, Walkscapes
4. Italo Calvino, Mr. Palomar

This order should be helpful as some of the authors refer to ideas in the earlier readings.

I was there! Just ask Photoshop

Great article from the New York Times about common applications of photographic manipulation.

Also, big, red, and shiny, an online arts journal, has a number of interviews and gallery reviews for contemporary artists working in all media, including digital photography. Their back issues also contain a number of articles addressing the "death" of photography and the rise of digital imaging.

Demo Addendum

Directions for perspective correction were not posted because your book is the best resource for these tools.

Demos

The instructions for the techniques shown in yesterday's demo are now posted just to the right of this post. I'm also including links to specific demos online for those of you interested.

Junk Drawers

Given the short conversation about Yolanda's work yesterday, here is a link to Paho Mann's website. He has photographed junk drawers and medicine cabinets.

Photoshop Tutorials

For those of you who do not know, there are a great many of tutorials available online for free or for pay. I would strongly suggest to any of you who are only minimally familiar with Photoshop that you subscribe to Lynda.com It is a subscription service and does cost $25/month, but it is well worth that just for the basics. I suggest starting with the Basics tutorial and then checking out the Photoshop CS3 for Photographers section. You may want to team up with someone to split the cost. It's well worth the price, even if you only have it for the next month. There are other students who have used this so they may be able to give you an impartial testimonial. (If you have used Lynda.com or any other tutorial site, please comment to this post so that others get a better idea of where to go for help.)

PSDTuts - the photo effects section is huge and it contains plenty of useful stuff...along with some really cheesy stuff too. scroll down to "previous entries" and see all the stuff they've posted in the past.

PhotoshopRoadMap - not as clean a site as psdtuts but still full of useful information. the blog section has a lot of stuff too.

PSDLearning - more of a graphic design based site but still it's pretty nice. there's more photo based stuff under the "photo effects" section.

Andy and I will be posting more links as we go along.
