Reflection:

            This project has made a responsible individual out of me. When I started on this project, I started thinking more critically on how my angles and edits of my photography should look like in order to make the image more appealing to the viewer.  I became aware of my resources and used them in a proper manner. My creativity was used very often when I made images that were in my frame of mind. I tried to make these into reality by editing the pictures I shot. 

            I have gained many skills and abilities during my time in this project. Personally I've became more responsible on finishing my objectives on time and I also became more organized. I learned how to not rush on things. I took my time on this project because I wanted to put a lot of effort into my photography. I also learned how to respect people's way of teaching, my mentor wasn't really hands on, but he taught me by making me take action and go shoot photos. This gained some of my social skills that I lack on understanding. I believe this project has intellectually influenced me to put more thought and acknowledgement to my individuality and originality. Even though my mentor assigned me to take graffiti, I put my own style in my photography, I shot different styles of photography. It was mainly urban photography, but I also took pictures of the nature that the world has to offer. 

            During this project, I have met many obstacles and challenges. Some areas that I went to shoot some photos were not ideally for the public. I had to climb some fences or find another alternative to get inside the place I want to take photos in. I had decided to take a risk of getting a ticket on some illegal spots and I also had to be careful on some high crime areas. Most of the areas that I went to, I had to watch out for train tracks and other hazardous things lead to eventual death. My other problems were on my camera lens, my camera lens were for mid range and most of the spots I went to were spots that have to be shot close range. I had to lay down at times or use my other camera of lower quality. I had to just be courageous and willing to get through my obstacles.

           Overall, this project was a great experience because it showed me how my creativity can produce an image that can catch a viewer's attention. The Capstone project has motivated me to keep on going with my photography and also research other options on starting a career. It showed me to stay on task and finish my goals. I am happy that I had the opportunity to do this project and further my interest in photography.
