Fixing Photograph

1st Semester Reflection

The quality of my work has varied throughout the semester. Some projects I had more excitement for than others, so I spent more time on them. Some that I didn't have as much excitement for I left until the last minute or took only a few photographs. For every assignment, however, I do think I fulfilled what was asked.

My effort for assignments also varied. Often I would think about what to photograph for a week, as I prefer to take my pictures on the weekend. Then I would go to an outside location or set something up. For some assignments, I'd do the bare minimum, as I didn't have many ideas at all. For others, I would have multiple ideas and always go with the last idea I thought of. I don't have the most positive view of my own work, but I do see how much I have improved since the first day.

I am always on time to class and use the class to plan my work and put it together. However, when we do critiques or talk about other students' work, I don't usually participate. I sit and listen instead of sharing my ideas.

This semester I hope to improve my work. I hope to put an equal amount of effort into every assignment. By doing this, I hope to have stronger images and more compelling photographs and create work that I am proud of.

Minimalism

Minimalism Response

This is a good example of minimalism because it doesn't have a lot of colors. It is all similar shades of gray. It also has little amounts of texture. I like it because the only few colors that aren't gray are the clothes the person is wearing, which makes it stick out.

This has all the same color: gray. There isn't much texture. The sky and the water look the same. I like it because it's so simple but also evokes a feeling of loneliness. 

This is a good example. There isn't texture, it just looks like a plane in front of a yellow sheet of paper, even though you know that it is probably the sky. The color is a brilliant yellow with the exception of the small black plane in the corner, which really draws your attention. I like it mostly because of the bright yellow and position of the plane.
