Get Out of the House assignment

For this assignment, you are to go somewhere that you have never been before. Take compelling photographs of the experience/location/activity/travel, etc. I want photos that speak to your take on the experience. Photos that only you can take because only you see it/feel about it that way. They should demonstrate your understanding of photography as an artistic medium. I want no less than 30 unique images.

DO NOT EDIT THEM. We will spend Wednesday editing the images in class. You all need more practice editing your images. I want to see you edit your images so that I can assist you in the process. 

Your trip doesn't have to be grandiose. It could be a trip to a small town that you have never been to eat at a greasy spoon diner. Stop along the way and photograph anything that interests you.
Or a road trip to anywhere new. A store. Cabellas? Frankenmuth Christmas village? A silly roadside attraction like worlds largest pie. A state or metro park that you haven't been to before. Take a trip on a public bus. Take photos of the entire bus experience. Any type of new place or experience. 
Look up work by Stephen Shore, Alec Soth, Robert Franks, William Eggleston.  Good photos can be made of anything.
Hope that helps.
