Your assignment is to shoot the equivalent of a full roll (24 pics) of
pictures capturing people you don't know in a
candid shot.
For each picture you should emphasize a specific composition element other than rule of thirds.
If you need a refresher on composition elements they can be reviewed at:

These
include, but are not limited to: frame within a frame, leading lines,
color contrast, movement and meaning, multiple levels of meaning,
leading the subject, and using light to highlight or enhance a certain
section of your picture. Move the camera around. Shoot high and low angles.
For this assignment I want you to get as
far away from Shorecrest as possible. Seattle is a great place to
shoot "random" people, but Lake Forest Park could be just as effective. Make sure you ask permission to take pictures (especially if you are taking pictures of kids).
Unintentional
out-of-focus pictures will not be accepted. If you would like to try a
some selective focus shots please tell me before you go out shooting and I can lend you a long lens.
