Reflections

After finishing my photo essay I was a little bit surprised on how it came out overall. I knew it was not going to be perfect because I am not all that great at taking pictures and I probably could have done better than what I did but i think it is a decent photo essay for a first timer. I do like the project in general because it is different and demands more creativity, not all just boring writing.The future for my photo essay looked so bright when I first made the design plan, ideas were flowing and I could relate to the topic but my lack of computer skills did not let my ideas come to life like I pictured. Most of my original design plan can be somewhat seen in my final project but there are some parts that are still lacking. It is like when you have one messed up curtain in the morning and a sliver of light passes through that wakes you up. The light being my original design plan and hopefully the person waking up is the audience so that they are not sleeping while viewing my photo essay. In the end, I do not see this as a complete failure because I think i accomplished a couple of good things from my original design plan and did enough to fulfill what was required of me.The process of taking the pictures and designing the presentation made this project fun.
