Minimalistic Photos

For the future, I definitely want to work on using stronger concepts. As well as produce work that is more compelling and makes sense. I know the type of photos I like to view by others so I want to find my style and create something I would enjoy looking at multiple times and not just once.  B - I've made an effort to improve in my opinion and have tried to find other concepts that are different regardless if I like them or not. On the daily dozen project, I had to think outside of the box and come out with different subjects in order to fulfill the requirements so in the sense, I was successful.

Dear Devan, In order to be successful in creative photography, you have to put into more effort than you would have thought. When given a project you have to research ideas and then build off of them. At times when it may feel easier to go with a basic concept, you have to think outside of the box and approach the assignments differently. Making use of your time is very important especially with Photoshop heavy projects.

In response to the quote, I highly disagree with the thought process behind the person who wrote this. I feel like this person didn't take into account the artistic career options and almost excluded these options from their vision of the "workforce". Not everyone is the same and has the same mindset for their ideal future, therefore, having a department of the arts in high school gives those a chance to express their creative talents. Regardless of where tax dollars go, public high schools still have a long way to go if they're suppose to be training young people to enter the workforce. Besides financial preparation, college is truly the place where younger people go to prepare for the workforce. Cutting the art departments funding would only do more harm than good for more creative dr...
