This week we began using our digital SLR cameras, which I thought would be extremely easy as I have been using one for a couple of years now. We were assigned a task that seemed simple, but proved to be very difficult once you were actually trying to complete it. We were told we had to find the letters of our first and last name in objects and shapes that were not meant to be that letter.
In completing this project, I learned that you need to use your subconscious mind to find this type of thing, and really look into objects that don't seem like they could be anything to the naked eye. You have to stop looking at objects as what they are, and instead think of what they could be if you thought of them in a deeper way. This assignment really makes you look at objects and shapes in a new perspective, as things you never thought could be significant can suddenly turn into a letter, making up a name, a sentence or even a story. I think that the completed look was well worth the effort put into finding all of the letters...looking at them, you can see where the person discovered these hidden shapes and the places they went to do so.
