Film Assignment 6 Journal

Fish Out of Water
I LOVED this assignment. Shooting was so much fun, and I was very very pleased with the outcome. It was a little rushed, I actually ended printing all 5 prints in one session, but they did in fact turn out beautifully. I am very pleased. I might call it my best work so far. I liked my ideas; though they might've been shallow and materialistic, I felt they got the point across in the manner i wanted it to. Although I printed quickly, all of my photographs are dustless, and very contrasted; which is what I love. My peanut butter on the piano- there's something about the composition that I am in love with. I love the reflection, and the beautiful natural light, and the clear focus. Although it disgusts me and stresses me out to see an open peanut butter jar on a gorgeous grand piano, for me, a pianst, it is most definitely a fish out of water. I think I loved this assignment, because a lot of the subjects of my shots were parts of my life. I am a little vertically challenged, and I wear high heels a lot of the time to make up for the inches i'm genetically missing. But i also wear very casual sneakers a lot of the time; these shoes define me. The tennis shoes among high heels was a very strong shot in my mind. I love the focus, and the light was pretty. Even diet coke among water; my dad is a diet coke addict whereas the rest of us love water. That was good symbolization of my family, and the technical elements weren't bad. Those were my favorite images, and I am very very pleased.
