This project is #27:
Take a photo of the sun
Again this title is
pretty self-explanatory. I found myself looking for that “perfect” sun. I
didn’t want to take a picture of a noonday sun, but I also didn’t want my
picture to be boring. I came home from class one night and this was the sun
before sunset. It reminded me that warm days are ahead. I love summer.
It brought about the
awareness that sometimes I wait for the “perfect” project as an artist. I think
I am more of a perfectionist in that way. I think in a way I learned something about
myself as well. Maybe I am not so much of a giant procrastinator as I am a
perfectionist.
This project appealed
to me because I love photographing the outdoors. It’s one of my favorite
things. It made me miss it a little bit. I don’t always have a lot of time
during the school year to work on things for my own studio practice so it gave
me a chance to do that.
I think it was
successful. I got to take a picture outdoors and even though it wasn’t for my
own studio practice I got to use it for a homework assignment. It was enriching
to my human experience in the fact that I got to appreciate nature for a small
moment and I need to remember that no matter how busy I get, I need to
appreciate the world around me.
