We had to shoot the photos as well as process the negatives and make prints. I don\u2019t recall what the particulars of the class assignments were although I can tell from looking at the negatives which were the assignments and which ones were shot just to finish off a roll. The shots to finish a roll are a lot more interesting. I lived just across the Delaware River from school and did most of my photo elective shots around <em>South Jersey.<\/em> This is one of the rare instances where I shot in Philly, and I&#8217;m glad I did.
