On Track!

Today we all had another meeting with Jane. My crit went really well. Kinko's printed my photos out on nice glossy paper and on an actual inkjet printer! They were 11 x 17 but Jane suggested and I totally agree to go bigger. I'm going to print at the lab but I forget how so Sarah said she would help me. The quality will be much better. I am having some trouble with my own computer reading Raw files which is an unnecessary headache. Content wise, I'm playing around with placement of small objects and lighting. Visually each picture is very different but they all resonate with the scale and volume aspect I'm exploring. I asked the people in my crit to guess what the images were and their guesses were almost correct. It's fun in this way. We discussed that I should probably title the images what they really are in order to achieve that "A-ha!" moment. For a while I was afraid that I wasn't going to reach that moment but I'm okay with the titles being obvious to support that realization. The depth of field I have been shooting is very shallow with selected parts being in focus. This Friday I intend to rent the pinhole cap for maximum focus and possible distortion.
I've already chosen the three images I will discuss in my paper for Senior Thesis. They are from the images I had shown today. It is definitely a lot easier to crank out these photos now that I'm sure of my subject matter and content. I'm also a little curious to what we will be working on next semester. If we are supposed to have our paper done and most of our work already done then what work will we have left to do?
