Class today went very well. I feel like I was able to get good feed back on my small collages. And I was only happy with about 2-3 of how my collages turned out. I felt like it was so hard to make the collages and take the pictures because I fell like I have no idea what I am photographing and so I'm just taking random pictures, which is not a good thing. It is difficult because you have an idea in your head of what you want your collage to look like, but then you are not quite sure how to make that idea real. I hope to continue to keep photographing and I hope for the best from this project.

Here are a few pictures of my collages so far:

My favorites were the Tea cup and AFH, but with the tea cup you can only go so far with 75+ photos.

Response to Errol Morris video:

    Photographs are connected to the real world. We investigate the world through photos and we document our findings by taking photos of it. Today many people do not know if a photograph is posed or not. Photos today are so manipulated and we as the viewer do not know what the difference is between truth and false photos. This not only applies to photographers, but also to graphic designers as well. Morris said "there's always an elephant outside the frame." You can never see the absence of something outside of the frame of the photo. The lens decontextualizes everything. Understanding photography is to pose more questions about what is outside of the frame and ask what is truth and what is false. From this video I realize how much I give into a photo. I lose myself in very good photography. Now that I have watched this video I realize how much I do not ask if it is fake or not, or if it has been edited or not. Nowadays it is so hard to tell if a photo has been edited or not. I found it interesting and kind of humorous with the story about the girl who snuck into the crime scene and took photos. If you want something bad enough, they you will do anything to get it, and would do anything to tell the truth about it. I feel like from now on I will be a little more curious as to what I am looking at in a photograph.
