An overview of shooting modes, lens selection, aperture, shutter speed and exposure will be given, along with instruction on how to best utilize these camera settings in situations particularly relevant to students, including studio project and site condition documentation.

Students' Focus on the Kimbell: Black & White Photographic Sketches
In an interview in 1971, Henri Cartier-Bresson described photography as “…a drawing—[an] immediate sketch done with intuition…”[1] For the three School of Architecture students—Donesh Ferdowsi, Katherine Slusher, and Noah Winkler whose work is represented in this exhibition—photography is a means to explore a building, finding the consequences of its existence related to light, shadow, the passage of time, and its relationship to the people who interact with both its interior and exterior spaces.
Architects and designers working in India are now dealing with an entire gamut of social, cultural and economic phenomenon that are molding the built environment at phenomenally rapid rates. In the process, the role of the professional architect has been marginalized - for within conventional praxis, the professional does not engage with this broader landscape but rather chooses to operate with the specificity of a site and in the process often becomes disconnected with the context of practice.
