Rules of Composition Reflection

       In the rules of composition photoshoot we took pictures of anything we wanted, however, we had to pertain to certain rules of composition in taking the images. I went around my neighborhood and Forest Park to take pictures so that I could take pictures of any objects. I let nature do it's thing and just let it be in setting up most of the picture, except for when i put the flower in the hand of the angel of hope. I used the rules of composition to help me in my photoshoot- to make my pictures better. otherwise, my pictures would have been very dull and unoriginal. I especially used near and far. I used these rules to help me encorporate my voice heavily. My strengths were my originality and willingness to put my voice into the assignment. I wouldn't change anything about this assignment.

Where do you see photography in the next 10, 50, 100 years?  

 I see photography expanding even more than it has today and becoming important to our culture. Although photography has been a huge part of our culture I can only see people using it more. 

Think of how far photography has come since its inception in 1836 with the invention of Cyanotypes and Pinhole cameras to today's digital images and social media.  How will this affect artist voice?

 This would allow everyone to show their voice easier in pictures, however this results in photography being harder to use as an artistic medium. 

Photography is readily available to the masses, therefore photographer's rely heavily on conceptual development/ artist voice to elevate their work to "fine art."  How do you think photographers of the future will continue to push the envelop and stay fresh 10, 50, 100 years in the future?

People always find ways to make themselves stand out. I don't see this being any different with photography.
