1. How did you develop your craft with this assignment?
In this project, I developed how to use Fibonacci's technique in using the human eye to get attention in my photos. I feel this craft will help me further expand my photography skills because I am able to understand where people will be looking in a picture.
2. What problems emerged? How did you solve these problems?
There were a few problems I encountered during this project. It was hard to take very detailed pictures, and it was hard to develop them in time. However, I was able to print a lot of prints in the short time I had. Adjusting to these problems made me more flexible, and really pushed me to use my time more wisely.
3. What ideas, feelings or meanings did you want your work to express? How did you go about expressing it?
I wanted my work to express mysteries, and represent untold stories that you had to critically think about. I expressed this by taking pictures of "for rent" houses that definitely show abandonment. Also, the flowers were displayed in a way that could show an untold story.
4. Write about one of the photos that you "killed". Was it a darling? What is intriguing about it?
One of the photos I killed was of a rose that was very artsy because it was mainly white, but it showed great contrast with the black stem. This was a darling, and it was very hard to kill, but somewhat necessary because it didn't quite go with the series.
5. Write about the photograph you chose for display in the library foyer. What makes it the right photograph for group display?
The photo I chose to be displayed in the library foyer was of a thorned stem, with contrast between black and white. It is the right photograph because all the other photographs were of photos that told stories, and I felt this thorned stem best represented a story.
6. Your peers gave you feedback on your photographs. Did their preferences mirror yours?
Surprisingly, my peers had very similar ideas to my photos as I did. I was expecting them to have different visions for which picture to choose, but as it turns out they ended up completely agreeing with which picture to use.
