Reflecting
17:48
Having such a long brief and coming back to it after a period of time I've realised how much in such a relatively (considering) small amount of time I've developed already, and this has effected the overall outcome of my work, and in heinsight, I'm not entirely happy with all of it working together I just don't think it does. As soon as I'm shooting new work, I fall out of love with my previous, which isnt ideal when I've got to submit 12 images in total.
A big part of learning is being critical of my work and this is how I plan to develop after leaving this project behind; My learning is very organic and staggered, I might be out shopping and I'd come across something which inspires me, I'll snap a pic and write a quick note in my notes and carry on to write it later, I'll be editing a photo and just thinking reflectively and I'll think this will go well in my reflective journal so I'll make a note and come back to the idea later, being able to quickly remind myself and always having something nearby to record stuff on be it my phone or an notebook really helps me to bring my ideas together and help me try and figure out who I want to be.
Last year was so focused on writing and less about the image making and now I'm all about the pictures and the inspiration and less about actually writing it down formally, it's not how I learn as long as I've got my ideas down somewhere I don't feel the need to have them somewhere else aswell, I think I need to make time to write here in my reflective journal because I feel like its a chore which it shouldn't be, I've got to make it more of a habit to write it immediately rather than days later to catch up.
