Final

Looking back on this past semester and the first eight digital images that I presented, I would like to think that my photographic “eye” has improved for the better.  Bonnie Briant said it best in her article 100 Words: Bonnie Briant on a Deviated Reality, “the images are a record of what has past, the way the light felt, an afternoon, a room, or a face I might not see for a while, because in the end it does not matter what actually happened, only what I remembered.”  The digital images that I chose to present then and what I am presenting to the class today hasn’t strayed very far from that sheer idea - a record of what has past, something how I remembered it.  One thing that I challenged myself to do this semester was to break the barriers of just taking a photo of “memory” but rather how I see something at that given time or how I “see the world.”   I thought a lot this semester about the things I saw and how I “saw” them, how I was a part of a bigger picture... the picture in this case would be life; how I fit into “life” and how I could portray it through my photos.
