Share this image up on Google Photos in the "Art116 Visual Diary" album.

Project 1

Take 25 photographs exploring Hartwick with the camera on your cellphone. The goal is to take 25 terrible photographs. You need to break all the rules. Try taking a picture while running or getting so close the image is blurry. Take images from a high angle, get low, get close, get far, hold your camera at an angle instead of perfectly horizontally.

Upload your favorite 5 images to the Google Photos Album
