The book was a collaborative project created by the students enrolled in the Creative Problem Solving class taught by Kevin Eames and is part of the Biocommunications concentration of the Photographic Technology curriculum. This is the smallest class to attempt to make a book, which is the class’s third book. Normally the Biocommunications Photography class averages between ten or twelve students. This year the class totaled four.
            
This project is designed to help develop problem solving, team building and communication skills. Students were responsible for the creation of the images, cover design, layout, marketing, publishing and copyright issues.  “A compilation of images might seem to be an easy project, but in reality the work consists of layer upon layer of troubleshooting, problem solving, compromise and extra work…on top of an already-busy academic schedule.” says Eames.The book is available for purchase through Blurb, the publication company; at http://blur.by/1exDuoP
 
Profits from this project go to the Randolph Community College Foundation for photography student scholarships.

Just when you were feeling safe and sound, the unexpected happened upon you. What is it? Is it a choice to make? A fork in the road? A bump in the night? No…. it is the cell phone assignment! 
How do you feel about cell phones? Do they make you happy or sad? Do they bring you comfort or irritation? Whatever it is that they do to or for you, it is time to tame the beast.
Using studio lighting techniques, illustrate your feelings about cell phones.
