Map Project In-Process Reflection

One risk I have taken with this project is that I use myself in most of the pictures.  This was a risk because in my past projects, I have not been successful photographing people.  My best photos are usually the ones without humans in them.  But I think it works for this project, and my photos have turned out very well.  I'm also using this project as kind of a second self-study project, because my earlier self study ended up not quite as I had originally envisioned, and I wanted to give it another shot.
This risk was definitely rewarding because my pictures turned out very well.  They all look good together as a set, but I have to be careful that they are not too redundant.  I'm still debating whether or not I want to print one big square photo to go with my four small photos.  I would like to do this because then I can include more of the photos I took.  However, it requires reprinting and rearranging of the four small photos, which will take a some time to complete.  Either way, I'm sure I'll be satisfied with the result.  I'm excited to display my work.  I look forward to seeing the finished project, paired with the subject of the photos: the suitcase.  At the beginning of this project, I lined the suitcase with maps, thinking I would display the photos inside the suitcase.  I'm not sure where or if that will fit into my project now.  I would like to include it somehow because I put a lot of effort into it, but I don't think it really works with my project.

Self Study Critique response

For this project I ended up with four final photos.  One was of a brick building, two was the stables, three was the arena, and four was the New House stairs.  My critique group agrees that photo number four was not very consistent with the elements in my other three photos.  But I received positive feedback on photos one, two, and three, which is rewarding in itself.  I think if I plan to display this project, I will retake photo four or replace it with something more cohesive to the rest of the series.  For display, I would ideally like to find one long black matte board and arrange the photos in a linear fashion.
