Final Reflection

Well, after 21 days of posting, my attitude towards a blog project has definitely changed. At the beginning of this project, I had a bad attitude about having to post everyday and this probably affected my posts in a negative way. As the project went on however, I was beginning to actually look forward to what I was going to take a picture of that night. When I started to be excited about taking pictures is when I began to take better quality pictures with better quality captions. This is also when i realized that this whole process would be worth it. My pictures improved throughout this process and my photography skills also improved. I began to take pictures of what I wanted, rather that taking pictures just to follow the assignment. This project has definitely taught me to not make assumptions about certain situations and to enter into everything in life with a positive attitude!

Day 21- Tangled Branches

It's great to see life growing on this barren fence. This represents the good growing in everyone and everything.

Day 20- Purple Flowers

The drought hasn't affected these beautiful flowers yet, but more rain would sure be nice!

Day 19- University of the Pacific

Over Memorial Day weekend I visited UOP. It was very pretty and I felt comfortable on campus. I would love to call the University of the Pacific my home after senior year!

Week Four Reflection

Throughout these past eighteen days I have definitely utilized fluency and flexibility. I have used flexibility pretty much everyday, by taking many pictures of my subjects from many different angles. I then go through and pick my favorite out of all of them. Fluency on the other hand is something that has been developed through this eighteen day process. As each day passes, I have more experience taking pictures. This has caused me to loosen up about what I am taking pictures of and just go with what feels right. At the beginning it would take me a long time to pick a subject, but now it is much easier. These two elements have really made my creativity better, By using these elements I feel that one of the best ways to enhance your creativity are by practicing these elements, fluency and creativity!

Day 18- Concert

Had such a great time last night seeing Matt Nathanson, The Fray, and Train preform! These bands talent levels are incredible and they put on a great show! Their songs are so full of motivation, and their success stories are inspirational.

Day 17- Park

Going on a walk on a beautiful way to spend my afternoons!
