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.
