Session Two: “Your Home”

Assignment: Think about your home and what it means to you. Home is a place, but home can also be represented by other things (like your family, a favorite shirt, a regional food, etc.) that make you feel at home, even when you are far away. Think of your home, and try to take photographs that represent that place and that feeling in some way.
