After re-viewing my photos, I wanted to recap where it all originated in retrospect. The first couple of days of observing, I paid super close attention to how things are all on their own. I have a great respect for the life that occurs while we, as humans, life our own lives. It is very important to stop and try to think of all the life that is occurring while we are living. That sparked my inspiration for my photos for this specific project. Honestly, I paid less attention to the people around. I find myself not interested in human activity as I get older. For as long as I can remember, as a child, I people watched constantly. As I've gotten older, I pay more attention to all other forms of life. I believe it is important for our well-being to be connected with other living things on all levels. After observing and moving on to our carrying the camera procedure, I stuck to my just observing technique, mentioned earlier. I really wanted to stop and observe, and then capture, the moving life. This lead me in the direction of capturing water (because of the local weather), capturing smaller forms of life, and how things are left as they are even when we loose sight of it.
The observation article made a lot of sense to me. I read it twice to really pick up on information I may have missed the first time. As I continue to photograph, I will keep in mind the tools that I have picked up from reading this article. I really wish to practice my senses more, even separately aside from just photography. I want to engage in areas of life that I may miss out on simply because I am focused to my destination.
