Just Pin It!

So its time to create another blog post and to create a Digital Camera Scavenger Hunt Pinboard in Pinterest.  (I created one too check it out by clicking here)  If you don't like Pinterest use one of these:  http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/social-media-roundups/top-10-alternatives-to-pinterest/

As you all may have figured out, I am a huge Pinterest fan, I think it was made by an artist....but I'm not sure.  If you don't have a Pinterest account you can set one up using your school email, Facebook or Twitter.  If you only use it for this class that is fine, when you are done you can delete it, but we will be using it throughout the year.

Here is what you are going to do, a photography scavenger hunt.  You are going to find 20 photos, all will be pinned to Pinterest.  In the description of the pin you will put which item it matches.  On your blog you will tell me WHO (a name) took the photo, WHY you picked the photo, and WHY you did or did not like it.

So why are you doing this??????  To be inspired? So Mrs. Riehle can see your photographic eye?  To see what type of photography interests you? To have some fun?  To see how you can use Pinterest for reason other than finding prom dresses? YES!

So for the first few I have given you examples of websites that contain what I am looking for, you can google them (DO NOT USE GOOGLE IMAGES, FIND THE WEBSITE), use Pinterest and repin (you will want to check out the website), or Flickr (I have a flickr stream as well http://www.flickr.com/photos/chsartteacher/!)  PS- Don't pin things from the first 8 websites.
