Photography II is an advanced course. Students will work with all aspects of black and white photography,
including the use and proper handling of the 35 mm camera, light as a creative tool, developing and printing
film, and mounting and preparation of photographs for exhibition. Instruction will advance in difficulty,
scaffolding on the prerequisite course, to include digital media, alternative processes and personal
exploration of photography used as both a creative tool as well as for documentary/ journalistic purposes.
Later in the course, students will be given more freedom to determine and fine-tune their artistic voice using
the medium of photography. All aspects of photography will be taught: artistic perception, creative
expression, historical and cultural context, aesthetics and real-life application. Students will be responsible
for required readings, homework, journaling of ideas, and participating in critiques.

 Camera Loan Agreement
Student Name: __________________________________________________________

Class: (circle one) 10th 11th 12th

Period: ___________________________

* I give permission for my son/daughter to borrow a camera from Lakeside High School and that
acceptance of the terms of this agreement are required before my student may use a school camera.

* I understand that camera use must be scheduled so that all students are able to complete their
assignments on time. (Students share use of the school cameras). Therefore, it is important for
students to be prepared for their camera assignment date so that they can complete their assignment
on the day they check out a camera. Cameras are available to be checked out overnight for one 24
hour period. Late returns will result in his/her grade begin lowered by a half letter grade for each
day the camera is returned late.

* All cameras are inspected by the teacher and in good working condition before they are given to
the student. The student then signs the camera out and signs it back in when returned in good
working condition. “Broken” means a damaged lens (usually by dropping the camera), or breaking
the film forward lever by pushing it too far through excessive pressure. Breaking does not include
certain wear and tear on the camera such as loose screws, or battery or meter problems.

* If the camera is broken, lost, or stolen while signed out/in my child’s possession, I agree to pay
the replacement cost of the camera. Minimum repair charges are $100. Replacement charges are a
minimum of $125 and a maximum of $250 for film cameras and full, current replacement cost for
digital cameras depending on the model.

By signing this form I acknowledge that I understand and accept the terms of this agreement.
