  It was a really good experience getting a book made with photos I took over the term. It was really hard arranging the pages and picking the colors but I just threw a bunch on the pages and just moved them around until they made sense. They all have similar themes that tie them together whether it was photos of trans/queer folks or mother/son duos. Either way, I am proud of the book and wish I was able to bring it to the class but unfortunately, it arrived a week late. I think I might start making cheap books of photo series I do from now on because it's nice to have them all contained in one book that you can flip through. It was nice looking at other examples of books because it opened up the possibilities of really creating whatever I wanted.

 " We now live in a global village…a simultaneous happening…we have had to shift our stress of attention from action to reaction"                                                                           violet. 2025 For the final project, I was inspired by the idea of the "simultaneous happening" when taking pictures while out on the town with friends. I just started taking pictures in the moment with the hope of capturing the feeling of being in that moment. But the longer I worked on this the more I realized I was just reacting to the world around me through the lense of my crappy digital camera. Then I realized people around me were just reacting to the camera and no longer living in the moment of which I was attempting to capture. Overall, I like the print...
