Life and Death
This assignment turned out nicer than I originally thought it would. When I shot, I had no deeper meaning ideas of what to shoot about life, or death. I simply went to a cemetary, so my images were very literal. I thought this could be a potential issue, but my prints in fact were not disastrous. I had a couple of tombstone shots that were pleasing to look at due to natural light and sweet focus. My favorite is probably the WWII veteran, because the contrast is striking and it conveys a message deeper than any of my other photographs. I had one shot that wasn't of the cemetary, it was a dead leaf next to a newborn blossom. This was probably the deepest interpretation, but technically it was too contrasted therefore you couldn't even make out the leaf. But it is still pleasing to look at, which could ultimately be the purpose of a photograph. I was surprised at how nicely this assignment worked out, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm sorry about the fixer stain, it's the worst worst thing that has ever happened to me
