I pose these questions: Have we taken photography to the fast food level? What do we need to do to bring photography back to art of capturing the moment? Has the access to point and shoot cameras diminished the art?
 
Tim Wise reminds us that there is an unwritten set of rules we live by. They may not be right, they may not be fair and probably should be done away with. Please share your response to the following question.
  1. Have you observed or experienced white privilege?
  2. What do you think should be done about the system of white privilege in America? 
 
Thanks for everyone's input today during our first meeting. Please share your expectations for this semester with your peers.
 
Welcome to Art 1375 / Photographing Diversity. - I am looking forward to a semester of strong photography, insightful discussions and just plain fun. See you Monday!
