Kill Your Darlings

1) I improved a lot in the darkroom.  This time around I was able to make my own decisions for myself regarding exposure and time.  I was able to be more independent in the dark room and not have to so heavily rely on Ms. Seal.
2) It was really difficult to use the fibonacci sequence to layout the photos I was taking.  In my first role of film I was so concerned with my photograph strictly matching up with the fibonacci sequences, my film turned out dull and uncreative. In my second role of film I slowly fazed the view finder out of my photo taking process, but was still aware of my composition.
3) My over-arching theme of my photographs was solitude/loneliness. My first roll of film was objects in solitude.  My second roll of film I moved to people who were alone, which I enjoy much more and find much more interesting to photograph and look at.
4) The photograph I killed was indeed darling.  It was very intriguing because it was dark and mysterious, and even went alongside with some of my other photos, but it ultimately had to be "killed" because there wasn't enough information.
5) The photo I chose for the foyer is definitely my favorite photo I took. It captures the moods of loneliness and solitude nicely, I think.  I really like the composition and the depth of field.
6)I pretty much agreed with what everyone said about my photos, and I was going to kill the same photos that my peers didn't like.
