Defending My Position
1. The nature of my project is nature. It is about the changes in the environment that can occur over the course of a couple months.
2. I became interested in my topic by taking a picture of a tree in my front yard. It is the first picture in my series. The tree is so beautiful with all the snow on it that I don't understand why people do not like the snow. So I made it my goal to capture the beauty and change that occurs in nature.
3. The purpose of my project is to convince that the change in seasons is a remarkable and beautiful event. And it is a change that should lure people to live in this area.
4. There is no event that gave me inspiration or guidance. However, Cathy helped lead me to the final outcome of my project.
5. Cathy helped me to achieve what I wanted from my photos by suggesting that I take all my photos and arrange them into a shape, such as a tree. This advice led me to taking strips of each photo and putting them together to get one picture of the tree. At first my project was just the beauty of nature during the winter and the change to spring. But from there I started to take a series of photos of one tree in particular. Then I abandoned all other picture taking to just the tree. And then finally I cut the pictures and created one combined picture.
6. This whole experience has taught me that it takes time and hard work to evolve an idea or concept, and that it cannot be done with out going out there and taking some pictures. Now having changed my idea I feel that my photos/series is a lot stronger than it would have been without change.
7. Next? I really don't know. Most likely I will continue to take pictures of the tree and do something with them. But for now I don't know what I will do. I guess that only time will tell.
