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.
