*default assignment: like it's 1999 [see intro] With critical intent, update one or more of the following [or other] conventions of photographic practice to be pertinent to this millenium:
• the portrait • the landscape • the nude • the still-life • the documentary image • the family album • the classificatory, scientific, or medical image • bureaucratic photography • surveillance photography	• war photography • the photographic record of paranormal activity • advertising & publicity • the fashion shoot • production stills • photo-journalism • art photography • pornography [etc: see talks]
Your work may be full of hope for the future & disdain for the past, vice-versa, neither, or both. It's your millenium... This is a default project that could service your needs for all four crits this quarter. It's a broad-ranging assignment - with plenty of room for your own input - about re-working the conventions of the photographic image from a millennial [or just 'updated'] perspective. *ALTERNATIVELY: Customize assignments with your Section Instructor.
