Preparing for the Finish Line

-

  The final day of senior project is quickly approaching! I came in today knowing exactly what I had to get done. First, I went through all of my negatives to highlight which photos I wanted to print again. 

I then entered the dark room to begin printing what seemed like a thousand photos. Just like the other day, I found myself spending hours in there not even realizing how much time had really passed. I become very engrossed in my work and love seeing the pictures develop.

After letting the photos hang out and dry for a bit of time, I organized them. For my final project, I have decided to display four posters boards, one with each of the following themes: nature, people, landscape, or Eliza Monroe. I categorized each picture into one of those themes and disposed of any that were duplicates or too damaged to be used. 

Tomorrow, I will piece together my final presentation and gather my camera and other materials I used during the process in case people have questions for me. I cannot wait!

The Final Blog

       Welcome to my final blog of senior project! I picked up right where I left off yesterday by continuing to organize which photos would be used in my presentation tomorrow and what wouldn't. I had to separate some of the photos that had damaged, duplicates, or were too dark or too light. For example, the three photos below are all from the same negative, however they were exposed to different light and cropped differently. I had to pick one of the pictures to use in my final poster board, I felt the top left was the right choice.  After doing this with any other duplicates, I started to lay out my poster boards. I used the four themes, nature, people, Eliza, and landscape. I taped down the prints rather than gluing because I want to be able to take them off after I present the photos.  I played around with different formats and laid the photos many different watts before I felt satisfied. I then cut the poster board to the size of the collage I had pie...

The Photos Come to Life

-
  What an amazing day dedicated to printing the photos I have been taking the past few weeks! I have not yet printed because we needed to replace some of the chemicals in the dark room. Once they arrived, Kate replenished them and I was clear to start working. My anticipation to see the photos of yesterday's photoshoot and Quechee Gorge was through the roof. I was quite the busy bee trying to hustle and print all of my favorite photos.  At first, my excitement took over me and I grew a little impatient so my first few prints were either damaged, chemically incorrect, or the wrong lighting. Fortunately, after some time I paused and forced myself to slow down because I could feel frustration building up. When I had relaxed, the process became a lot smoother and I could really see my photos come to life! I found myself so focused and engaged with my work I hadn't even realized how much time had passed. The time to wrap up my day quickly crept up on me and I had to begin cleanin...
