Snapshot Aesthetic

I just came back from Walgreen's where I sent my first roll of black and white to be developed and printed.  I thought it would add to the snapshot aesthetic if I had my roll printed at a store where anyone else would get theirs printed.  They came out a bit green, which is a downside but sort of adds to the accidentalness of the snapshot.  I am not pleased with any of them haha but that was expected since I tried extremely hard not to think of composition.  I think most of them would have been better if they were in color.  I started doing another black and white roll for this project, I'm not done with it but I think that for the rest of the photos I am going to let my OCD get some input.  For the roll I developed I used Auto on my camera and I didn't know how to turn off the flash so all of the photos were taken with a it.  I am relearning this camera so it's yet another addition to the spontaneity of this assignment.  I think that for the black and white roll I am working on now I will develop them myself, I like doing that.  I won't give up on this snapshot idea though, I really enjoyed the freedom of it.  I want to somehow relate this to my thesis.  In the next few weeks I hope to have tried everything on my experiment list so I get a more clear cut idea on what I want to accomplish with my thesis.  I am also doing a report on Tom Wood (photo below) for my Photo 3A class, hopefully learning more about his work will help me out with this snapshot idea.
