FINAL PROJECT 2009-2010

The end of digital photography is nigh. I have learned alot and I have accepted defeat plenty of times. This class has made me a better person, in the sense of light, composition, and contrast in life, as well as in pictures. Thanks, to Mr. Slade for all the things that he has put up with and the answers to all of my clarrifing and in some cases, obvious questions.

This project was very interesting as the many projects came together to produce the final result. I chose clocks for my final project becuase I had to do something easy to find, however stretch my limits as a photographer. And this assignment accomplished that. I took photos that were grey that I would have thought as good photos and went the extra mile to make them the "better photograph". I really stepped through as Mr. Slade challenged us to shoot when you don't want to, bracket the living daylights out of the same photo, etc. Clocks, to be really good photos, have to have really good light and interesting angles. These were shot around my house and in the neighborhood of downtown Salt Lake City. Wherever I went, I took my camera and shot photos. Looking for opportunities to make a good shot took a great deal of time, and my family was thinking I was obsessed with clocks. That is what it takes sometimes to produce, as a photographer, a great photo that you will admire forever. I enjoyed this course and this final project becuase I went out on a good note.
