https://www.pinterest.com/sydneydentist/nature-photography/
There are 2 parts to the reflection, don't miss Part II.

I) Write a paragraph in response to each of the following as they relate to you and your perception of your class experience: 

Quality of Your Work
Effort
Participation
Improvement
Adjustment 

Address the sub-topics in the bullet points below but do not write a list–this should be more of a narrative, describing your thoughts about your work in this class so far.

1. Quality of work

· your actual images (contrast, focus, composition)

· quality of your subject matter

· fulfilling the assignment

· paying attention to the objective of the assignment (and taking it further)

· proper format and resolution

· completing your work on time 

· going beyond your first idea(s)


2. Effort

· actively taking photos

· do you look for the most convenient subject/location/solution?

· how much effort or planning did you put into your photography?

· do you shoot more than is required?

· do you avoid photographic ideas that you perceive as difficult or that you think will take a lot of effort?

· if a shot is hard to get, do you give up?

· do you take risks? creative? conceptual? subject matter? technical?

· do you have a positive attitude when looking at other students work (participation, support for other students, accepting other’s feedback)?

· do you have a positive attitude toward your own photography, images and process?


3. Participation

· on time to class

· work throughout the block

· have a plan to work independently

· staying on task and using class time productively


4. Improvement

· creation of your own style; who am I as a photographer?

· improve technically?

· better composition?

· more compelling images?

· more confidence?

· stronger concepts?


5. Adjustment

What are you going to do differently in the 2nd Semester?



II) Suggest an assignment.  

Is there something that you've wanted to do with your photography that we are not yet addressing?  Suggest an assignment and I will choose from your ideas and incorporate one of them into a project.

The Power of Internet Images Below is an Instagram screenshot from the account of one  Jenny Wanderlust.   Like so many people, Jenny has shared a few far-from-random images in an effort to portray herself in a particular light. Based solely on the photographs she chose to post,what is the image that Jenny is trying to project?...Adventurous? Curious? Brave?  Pick 5 words. Do you think she was successful? Elaborate. Do you think that Jenny is someone who would be a good role model? A good mother? A good neighbor? A good friend?   Explain your answers.

Snuff, Corsets), some become obsolete due to technological advancements (Ex. Flip phones), and some become obsolete due to built-in or "planned" failure (Ex. *Light bulbs) Prior to starting the project, you are to research the topic of "planned obsolescence" and answer the following (You should post your answers to
