1. I think my most successful works this year are:
Stairs; Darkroom print, Kill Your Darlings, Fibonacci
Bike and Letter in the Sky; Photoshop, House of My Mind
Let There Be Light; Lamp, Defy Ms. Seal
2. Stairs: I like this photo because it is very contrasty and crisp. The picture cuts off the top of the stairs so you cannot see where the stairs lead to. Oh, the mystery....
Bike and Letter: This photo is a good demonstration of my photoshop capabilities. I used masking, overlays, and a tablet to add details like footsteps, the giant mailbox, and the silhoutte. I actually wish I hadn't added the giant mailbox, it's a little disruptive to the rest of the photo. Otherwise, this photos turned out exactly how I wanted it to.
Lamp: The imperfection of the lampshade makes this work charming. Even though not all the paper came off the transfers and the fabric paint bled through the fabric, I like how the lampshade turned out. Can't wait to see it all plugged in.
3. My least successful work was my stop action video. I should have spent more time developing a comprehensive story, rather than a chain of events.
4. I'm pretty good at using manual settings on a camera. And I'm pretty competent in Photoshop.
5. When I set out with a camera and a plan, my photos usually are not the best. I think if I work less deliberately my photos would turn out better. I usually try to make the best of the time I am given, but it is difficult to take pictures outside of class when I am not inspired.
6. I'm excited to try new and different things with the photos I take next year.
7. Photoshop skills and Aperture knowledge is good for editing photos for photo albums, and making posters or advertisements. Or for fun.
