Studyguide (sort of) for the midterm exam

To prepare for the midterm exam on Thursday, students should know the following:

Short Answer Questions About:
-Chapter 1, 2, & 3 of Susan Sontag's book, On Photography

-Supplemental reading packet "Making Sense of Documentary Photography"

Matching Section:
-Be sure to study photographers' names and titles/main philosophy/purpose of their images (for example, you should know who Lewis Hine is and 1-2 famous photos of his that we discussed in class, Jacob Riis, Dorothea Lange, James Nachtwey, Walker Evans, etc.). This section will most likely be matching the photograher with his/her photograph.

Good luck!
