My experience taking the first ten pictures was pretty fun. I loved how much freedom it felt like I had and that I couldn't mess up with whatever I wanted to take. It almost made it hard to choose the ten pictures, because there were a few I liked and the class only got to see ten from me. I suppose I wanted my pictures to be well rounded. Taking these last ten pictures, I felt, was a lot harder. We had restrictions, only a little thank goodness, to what type of pictures to take. I ended up just trying to not let myself worry too much over what type of picture I needed to take and just take pictures of things I loved in different ways. I kept in my mind what some things I needed to look for, but it was nice after a while to just not care and take pictures. Afterward it was a lot harder picking the correct pictures for each guideline. I wasn't as confident in my pictures and worried that they didn't exactly meet the criteria. In the first ten pictures I took, I had so many pictures that I loved. This time it was harder for me to find pictures, feel confident about them, and place them in a category. Something similar between the two was how I just let loose after a while and took pictures of things I wanted to. Also just picking the right pictures was hard both times, but in a different way. My favorite images from this project are the asymmetrical photo, symmetrical photo, the person in surrounding space and I thought the name on campus was kind of unique, but I'm not too impressed with myself. I feel like there were probably others who thought of that. I had a backup picture lined up, but I just used that series. I think I like these pictures the most because I feel like they are visually simulating to the eyes and I really love the way they turned out. Plus just looking at the photos brings back a memory and where those photos were taken. I like the last series because I thought it was a little bit clever.
