Assignment: DUE Wednesday Feb 23th

Do something fun with images. This might just mean dealing with the built-in processing filters. This might mean chopping them up and collaging them. This also might mean going down and dirty low level into pixels or building your own filters!

Have fun and email us with questions if you have them!
