PLEASE, have them redo the assignment again. There is no use giving back the paper I graded, as it still isn't right.
They will write an identification, basic and expanded caption for any two pictures in their playbook/workbook.

What does the following quote mean to you:
"These days it seems that physical “truth” can easily be rearranged, rethought, or re-created outright. Any image can be made pristine, all the warts can be removed.
But returning to the source of a thing–the real source–means the photographer has to watch, dig, listen for voices, sniff the smells, and have many doubts.
My life in photography has been lived as a skeptic.
–Jerome Liebling, The People, Yes, 1995
