I feel like i have been able to improve my quality of work with my photography this semester. I took this class because I wanted to learn more about photography and improve how to take photos. I feel like I was able to successfly complete the objectives of each project. I try to go beyond that but it is very difficult for me because Its hard to capture my ideas. I planned on putting the same effort for this class that I do for my other classes. I try to shoot more than is required but a lot of the times I dont like how the photos turned out so i reshoot and take them again. I definitely do have a postivie attitude when looking at another students work. I like doing this because if im struggling with an assignment it gives me an idea for what I could do. I dont want to copy other students ideas, but I want to take inspiration from them.

What is the general premise of the video? The general idea of the video is to portray the message of how todays society functions on our cell phones. Our phones are our world.  Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message? Yes the video is effective in conveying its message.  Do you feel that this is more of a cautionary story (a warning) or more of an examination of our current social situation? Why? I feel like it is mostly a warning because even though the video was an exaggeration, it definitely shows how our world will become if we dont open our eyes to our surroundings. 

1. Even though cell phones nowadays have high quality cameras, it does not make them the best. Professional cameras are the best because you can control the apature and the focus. The problem with them is the actual camera is not very expensive, but a good lense for the camera can be thousands of dollars which is why people settle for the camera on the phone because it still takes really good photographs. The popularity of cameras on our cell phones has degraded the nature of photography. Photography is about taking good quality photographs that have a deeper meaning behind them. The cameras on our cell phones make the meaning of photography lose its value. 2. I think the future of photography will be wearable cameras because in todays world we like to document everything going on in our daily lives.  People also like convience, and this is easier than carying around a camera. 3. I agree Mr.Olmos' quote. We take photos of everything as documents, not for photography. Photograph
