These are the images I have decided are my best from the last few weeks. There are many reasons why I think that these photos are my best emulation of Jennifer Timmer Trail. My first reason in this method of madness is that I can see a progression in my work. As the weeks go by I can see how I have improved on capturing the true essence of my artist in my own way.
My second reason as to why these photos are the most relevant of all of my recent week's pictures is they are honest. These pictures aren't just pictures of something pretty, they're real. In these pictures I find endless truths about life and how things are from my point of view and mostly from Trail's point of view. As the weeks progressed I really started playing with different angles and pathways that make me think of "I found you in the dark" and all of the meanings that come from that work for me. I appreciate what I have learned in this semester. I have learned what I have been missing by staying safe instead of opening up to vulnerability. I've learned to really think, something that most college kids and adults should really consider from time to time. Thinking is risky, it can be ugly and tense and the emotion that comes from those thoughts can scare you. Most thoughts I think now are scary, and I love that. I've begun to experience one of the most creative points in my life. Without this class and this camera opening my eyes to what I really see and letting me share my vision of earth with the world, I would still be stuck in a really sad state. Thank you for that Shane, above all thank you for that.
