a letter to the past.

if me now, could talk to past me about this class i would tell her these things, to 1. pay attention to photoshopping! it isn't easy so just try to pay attention and don't get distracted cause i know you get distracted easily. 2. think outside of the box!! don't go with your first idea because normally someone else would have that same idea and you and someone else would have basically the same project/picture. 3. take more photos!! don't just take like 5 photos and call it a Day, try different angles and listings and things like that. 4. and then don't be afraid to ask questions about anything you're confused on.

i chose this photo as my most successful photo because i met all the requirements and i think it looks pleasing to the eye, its an evolution of different days and locations of sunsets. I'm in love with the sunsets and how beautiful they are, i just capture the moment and i combined them together into one nice photo.

reflection/reflection

during this first semester i believe I've learned a lot, from photoshop to going beyond a concept for a project. the quality of my work sometimes isn't the greatest but with the knowledge that i have now, second semester should be easier in a way to complete and nail the projects. completing my work on time sometimes isn't an issue but of course I've slacked off and turned in late assignments. effort wise, i try to do my best with what i have.. so i try to picture in my head what would be most logical and continue from there, usually i get other better ideas along the way and just try different things until i get the most ideal picture (to me) for my project. i do enjoy looking at there peoples work just because not everyone thinks the same, so its just interesting to see everyone else different ideas. but with mine, i am positive with it as well. if i look at the project in a bad manner then my project won't be good at all, but if i just stick with it, everything will just work itself out. I'm always on time to class, when i know theres something that i need to get done i stay as focused as i can. but theres times where i 100% slack off. I'm definitely more confident in a way, i have stronger ideas coming forward and my whole work ethic has improved, in my opinion. what I'm going to do second semester is to try to go more out of the box, to try different things and to try not to get discouraged when I'm not really knowing what to do in a project, idea wise.

thats what i wrote during first semester, so its now third quarter so some time has passed since ive written this and theres little to no progress. I've been slacking pretty bad this whole quarter because senioritis is kicking me in the booty. but thats no excuse for me just being lazy and not setting time aside and doing my projects for this class. i would grade myself an F just based off of the effort I've been bringing not this class this past quarter.
