Senior Project Advisory Committee Dubois High School 314 Helmer Dubois, WY 82513

Dear Senior Project Advisory Board:

The area of interest for my senior project is going to photography, which falls under the art category. I am personally interested in photography because I find it fascinating to be able to capture the world as we see it and know it. I have some experiences with a camera and have already taken a few photos that I might possibly use in my senior project. I am hoping to be able to learn more about how to be a photographer and not only take pictures, but to be able to edit those pictures in many unique ways.

The specifics that my research paper will focus on are: I have already talked to the “Art Institution of Seattle”, and the “Art Institution of Pittsburgh” via phone and e-mail. I am also hoping to enter a photo contest for the Dubois phone book next year. I am going to try to get a hold of some local photographers so that I can learn more about the “how to's” of photography.
 * 1) How to capture the best possible picture,
 * 2) How to use photo-editing,
 * 3) Finding a college that I would be able to get a bachelors degree for photography.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The relationship between my research paper and my physical project is that my research paper will include how to become a photographer, the procedures that one has to take before he/she can just go and shoot some photos, what to look for when one is going to take a picture, and what to do when somebody is going to process and develop there pictures. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">My physical project is going to show a group of people the wonders and the excitement of what somebody can see and capture with a camera. Throughout the year I will be going into different areas in Wyoming, and hopefully other places as well. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The potential time that will be spent on this project is estimated around 50 hours. This will challenge me and benefit me personally because I will see and learn new things all the time and overall, learn what it takes to be a photographer. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Hopefully, Ms. Finn and Jeff Vanuga will become involved with me and my project. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The potential cost for this project is around $250. This is going to cover the cost of items of photo paper, memory card(s), trips, and possible photography classes.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">I understand that plagiarism is illegal and no part of the school or the community will accept such a thing.
