3. NMED 1000 Today: Consider your original photo. Look at it and write a 50-100 word caption about ”the story we don’t see”. It can be fact, or fiction It can be about the person taking the picture, the day the photo was taken, it can be a how-to take a photo like this. The possibilities are endless. Don’t over think it. Based on this caption, begin to plan, design or create six images you will work with in Photoshop

4. NMED 1000 • For Example: • He was on his way to visit his great aunt Ethel who was born and raised in Sunburst, Alberta. Her house was the last stop required before his grandmother’s estate was settled. For some inexplicable reason he decided to pull over his 1992 Carrera 911 and he looked this cow right in the eye. This was the day that Victor decided to quit his job as a contract lawyer and become a cattle rancher. • OR Frank remembers well the Tuesday morning in September when he watched the terrorist attacks on New York City. The towers were brought down, 3,000 people killed, and yet it had to be business as usual for Frank. One week later the weekly sale at his cattle auction house in Olds, Alberta began. Just after bidding opened, word began to spread that a single cow in northern Alberta, already dead for nearly four months, had been identified as suffering from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), better known as mad cow disease. It was not business as usual after all. • OR It was a beautiful day in the late summer of 2005. I’d been driving since Halifax and only had three more days of driving until I reached my destination of Vancouver. My car stereo was on the blink and I had been humming Gwen Stefani’s “The Sweet Escape” since the middle of Saskatchewan. Then it happened my car just stopped. I had run out of gas and the only creature that seemed to notice was this cow.
