      This is a collection of my Photography 1 projects from semester 2. Each time I went out to shoot, I grew as a photographer. I was pushed to explore new angles, work with what I had, and to use my resources. Sometimes this included hunkering down family members to hold up blankets. Othertimes, I would just use photos from trips instead of  intentionally shooting for a specific purpose.

      From those images I was able to enter school-wide and CCSD photo contests. These works have lots of hard work put in. This includes hours of shooting, trying to get the perfect image. I also spent every day in the classroom editing those perfect photos, to find the perfect one for the specific project. This tedious work has definitely paid off.

      It's been very benificial having worked through this semester. I have grown not only as a photographer and student, but as a individual. Many lessons have been learned from each experience.
