Photographer's Eye
• For each of Szarkowski's five elements, shoot no fewer than six distinct photographs. Chose one for each element, naming them Thing Itself.jpg, etc. Deliver all files (thirty, including selects). Then, using Photoshop create one image which demonstrates how digital photographic tools repudiate or change one particular element. Name that file digital.tif and include in your folder.
