After a long and hardworking shooting week, things have started to already pick up. I'm for sure feeling the pressure, but at the same time I am starting to feel more and more at home at Prairieview. Friendships are starting to build and everyone is getting to know each others own unique photography taste. Also, some of us were in the making of doing some destruction to our potato's from our creative imaging assignment on pretty much how to create emotion in a photograph without using any other objects and to let us explore further into using lighting. I think myself and my classmates can agree we have love and hate relationships with our potato's and I thought I was the only one who so wanted to let go, but you somewhat still had some bond to it which made it even harder to toss it into the red river... or perhaps eat it (which I eventually did). I also got to photograph what I love most for our Industry Studies assignment backyard safari. We were to photograph animals at the zoo, which at first doesn't seem like a challenge. It does not help when the animals are sleeping, but eventually they were up and adam doing there daily duties. I am still exploring what exactly is my kind of photography and what subjects I truly enjoy. I am still working on tieing my extreme love for animals/photography. One thing that brought out an emotional side was me was actually seeing/capturing the animals expressions and movements. It felt almost like I knew what they were thinking, but also drawing me to know more. This made my experience even more memorable because if I can feel this unique connection, I can use this to my advantage into my photographing. Well enough about that! Here is my little experience I had on my backyard Safari. STAY TUNED FOR SOME B/W PHOTOS!
