Camera Position 115 : The Self-Assignment

Although I have been giving assignments to students for years and years, I sometimes forget that I can give myself an assignment, too. So, this summer, I gave myself the task of photographing a stretch of lakeshore 150 feet long and 10 feet in either direction from where the water meets the land. It was a successful exercise and taught me a lot about looking and seeing.
