Project Summary

This was a project that focused on the idea of time and space and how they relate with each other. The process to show this is that we are to find a subject that shows a progression of time but also shows a distinct space. Then we were to take 75-100 photos and put them together to make a collage.

What I loved about this project was that it was a photography assignment and anything photography related I love. Also I had the opportunity to do photography collages in high school, but on a much smaller scale. I love that there is a time lapse or a wide range of space that needs to be captured and the collage style allows this to happen.

What I learned during this project was that sometimes you come up with amazing ideas but if there are no tests done, then you will never know if it actually will work until it is too late. I remembered having a great idea that I tried to put into action but because I did not do tests of it, I learned very quickly that it was not going to work and I wasted my time trying to make this one work when I should have just stuck to the idea that I ended up going with.

I was the most difficult to me was that if you do almost graph out the area that you are taking the pictures on there is going to be a hole that is difficult to cover up. Also putting together a 100-image collage is not the easiest thing to put together with tape and rubber cement.

If I could do anything differently in this project it would be to do more tests in the beginning because there were a lot more ideas that I had that I did not peruse that I think would have turned out really nicely but because I did not do the tests I didn’t even know if they would have worked.

Overall I loved this project and at the end of it all I love the way my collage turned out and I did have fun working on the project even if I got rubber cement smeared on my arm, honked at on multiple occasions and now know the picture lady at Walgreens on a first name basis.
