Scope and resources
We live in an area that is historically abundant with visual history and provides plenty of subject matter to choose from as well as a great opportunity to sleuth out some less obvious subjects in your search. You can choose any area, whether right here in Alexandria, across the river in the District of Columbia, or overseas. You also can choose a subject outside the time period covered in this class (although tough to find pre-1500 in the eastern US). Be as imaginative as you'd like.
Agreements
A. Take the photo yourself-no lifting from the internet
B. Observe safety precautions (and all laws!) in taking the photo
C. Use your own words to describe the historical significance and your interest in your subject
D. Do let me know if you would like to discuss alternative access-I'm happy to accommodate
E. This homework is meant to encourage you to go out and see your surroundings through a new lens: have fun with it.
