Self Evaluation

Final Post. Weird.

How has my vision changed through this class? LIGHT. I see it everywhere now. Either greatness, mediocrity, or the lack thereof, I have learned to look for light where ever I go. I have started to grasp the capturing of that light to get the effect that I want in my pictures and that is really what makes photos good or bad is the light that you have. I also find myself envisioning different ANGLES that I could see whatever I am looking at from and thinking about what I would do if I were going to take a picture of that thing/scene. I have looked around me a little more. I think that was something I enjoyed doing-looking all around me and noticing the little things-the little joys and beauties of the things around me. You can make a good picture just about anywhere you are- as long as you do just that MAKE it. Yes, it takes effort and thought and preparation to actually make a good shot. I love how photography can either bring out the simplicity, or complexity of your subject matter. Whichever you choose to show- photography shows us that. I have LOVED this class so much it has been so much fun to really spend time doing something that i love to do- photograph. document. observe. share. Photography gives you the chance to show something about yourself that you really can't share in any other way. It tells people what you notice and what you care about- more so when it is not filling a specific requirement but it really is interesting to see other people's work and see the things they captured and took note of that I would not of otherwise seen. More than anything I guess you could say that this course for me was an eye opener. I am gonna miss it!
