This section of your portfolio is for learning about and reflecting on your PHOTOGRAPHING CULTURE assignment.
Assignment description:
In this assignment, your job is to take 10-12 digital photographs that define or represent culture for you. These photographs are COMPLETELY based on your interpretation of culture. There are no wrong answers; it is all based on your interpretation.
Once you have taken your 10-12 digital photographs, please make sure you save them securely on your camera or phone. Then, please download them to some permanent hard drive so that you will be able to insert 6 of the photos that you think are most representative of your interpretation of culture.
When you insert your photos on this page using the "Gallery" module, please include a brief caption explaining how the photo represents culture for you.

Pat,
Your photographs and captions are exceptionally thoughtful and give viewers wonderful insights into your perceptions of culture. I love the imagery that you have chosen to draw all of us into your understanding of culture and to stimulate our thinking about culture. You offer the viewer much to think about. Very well done!
