In 1974, photographer William Christenberry documented a quaint little building in Alabama. He was intrigued by the simplicity of it and the green vine growing up the side. Years later he returned to the same location and the vegetation had grown out of control, leaving very little of the house showing. He continued to visit the site years later to document the change of something so simple yet so complex.

Look through your old family photos. Find an old picture to reenact in a fun way. This may be an childhood picture of you, a picture of a parent, relative or ancestor who you may resemble, or if possible a place you can revisit.
Similar to the Art Inspired lesson, decide what elements to bring forward into your new photograph. Consider composition, costuming, lighting and staging. Place your new photo next to the old one as a diptych.
Your photo must be digital and current.
You may use photo editing programs to alter your photo if you choose.
Only one entry per student per assignment. Photo must be posted to the RHS Advanced Photo group pool by 12:00 PM the Sunday evening before the due date to be considered on time, and to be eligible for a "Best in Show" award.
Photos must be posted at a minimum resolution of 72 dpi or 800x1200 pixels.
Your entry will be worth a 40 point homework grade, and will be graded according to the following criteria:
Objective/Concept: To what degree do you solve the problem? To what extent do you creatively solve it as an independent thinker? Did you solve it out of convenience, or did you take time to think of a good idea, plan, and then execute it well? Did you think of the problem literally, or did you personalize it and come up with a unique & meaningful response?
Design: How elegantly do you employ a photographic principle of composition, or use a principle of design in your work?
Camera Exposure: How well do you consider and employ proper exposure settings on your camera when taking this picture? Did you use the correct white-balance setting? Is the exposure clean and clear? Well focused?
Presentation: Did you make any necessary adjustments on Photoshop to adjust color or clarity? Is it cropped correctly? Did you upload it to the Click board at the proper image resolution and by the corresponding due date?
