Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To produce a minimum of 75 photographic studio portraits during the period when an exhibition of photographs of the Eveleth Clown Band will be shown. To provide an 8" x 10" print for each participant. From these photographs I will select the most successful to add to an ongoing series of photographs exploring the communities of the Iron Range. That the minimum number of photographs is made and that each participant receives a copy of their image. A greater outcome would be that these portraits convey each individual's interpretation of being a "Ranger" and thereby substantially contribute to the comprehensiveness of the ongoing project. Selected portraits will be included with other Iron Range photographs on my website, in exhibitions and in book proposals.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcome 1: A resource book of tools, activities, and techniques acquired during the workshop has been completed. Outcome 2: Three new techniques have been used in my work with the project, My Zip Code Is Killin' Me. Scheduled four sessions concurrent with an exhibition of photographs of the Eveleth Clown Band during which I made portrait photographs of all who were willing to participate. Each participant was asked to consider what being a "Ranger" meant to them. I shot 108 sheets of film.
