Project #3 - Post Critique Reflection
I have to say that I wasn’t too crazy about the way we did critique for this project. Usually we print out our photos, hang them on the wall and then talk about each one. This time we had to upload the pictures to our blog and then show the rest of the class on the projector. There were some technical issues (for example the distortion of colors through the projector) that I thought took away from the pictures themselves.
I had some difficulties deciding on something that could tie my photos together and I wasn’t completely satisfied with people’s response to my connection, which was color. I found that people tried to read too much into what I had decided to leave in color and what I had decided to make black and white. To me it made sense and I had of course made those choices on purpose, but I don’t think that people got the idea that the colors were a continuation of each other.
Overall I was happy with my pictures, but I wish that I could find something other than the colors that could tie them together. I will try and work on that for the next project.
