Photography and Video Exchange

The Exchange Blog is an evolving concept and additional site to exchange your work with your peers at other universities to receive feedback on your images/projects from more than your classmates. If you have an idea that can improve this blog – this is for the students participating – email Adriane Little whose email address is below in the posting instructions or post a comment to this post.

Send an email to Adriane Little at photographyexchange@gmail.com with the information requested

• The email subject field should have your school’s name and photo exchange so that I know it is not junk mail – example: WMU Photo Exchange
