First of all, please send me emails with descriptions of your topics. If you need till Fri night, early Sat to think through your choice, you can have that time. But you’ll need to be photographing during the weekend so that you have 10 pix (work in progress) for Wed.
I’ve compiled a list of websites for you to consult. Look at these sites to get ideas as to how both professional and serious student photographers are working on photo essays.
