Throughout this 12 week period I have learned so much about myself. I have tapped into a creative side on me that I never knew I had. My eyes have been opened to see the beauty of nature and truly admire it. But most of all I think this experience has taught me how to slow down and take everything in.
Prior to this project I did not pay any attention to the beauty of nature. I would glance at it but never stop to look at it in depth.

I can't believe that this project is almost over. I feel like just yesterday I was struggling to pick a topic to do my genius hour on and I am so glad I picked photography.
Photography has open my eyes to see more in regular and plain things around the house or in nature. It has made me think about how I can turn something that you would original think as plain and boring to something that would be a good picture. This week I decide to get pictures of the museum cabins down the street from my grandparents house. From the beginning of my genius hour I have always had plans to take pictures here. The only negative part to taking pictures at the cabins is that there are trees everywhere. The lighting is not the best it could have been. But I really like the rustic look of the old buildings. I am so happy that I found a way to take other than nature pictures these last couple of weeks. The last thing I wanted was for this project to end and all I had to show for the outcome is pictures of trees and flowers. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Be sure to check my Instagram to see the last couple weeks photos. It is crazy to me how one week I'll be bursting with motivation and then the next I am completely drained out of it. All week I was telling myself I need to get around and take some pictures and I just never really wanted to.
I just kept telling myself "They are all going to look the same in the end" or "I do not have anything else new to take pictures of". And that was basically a snap shot into my week. I stopped looking around for picture opportunities and basically just put the idea of my genius hour to the back of my mind completely. Eventually, today rolled around and I had nothing. I was kind of stressing not going to lie. I was completely out of ideas which has never really happened to be before. But, in times of darkness rises opportunity. My little sister was having a fun time with her bubble machine and my mind turned on. I whipped out my camera and took a couple shots and they turned out amazing. This situation made me realize that I do not always have to look for pictures all the time. Sometime they can come when you least expect it and feel the most down and discouraged. I hope next week with be better than this week because I want to end out this project with a bang. I hope reading this weeks blog post reassures you if you are ever feeling down and unmotivated that sometimes it happens and it is normal. You should never ever feel down about yourself because of it. Thank you for everything and I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! |
