Now, it’s time to recap my own work for the last couple of weeks.

I started off the DailyShoots pretty strong, I thought, but there were lots of ups and downs. Some of it didn’t turn out quite like I wanted, while others were just sort of crappy ā€œI’m going to do this at the last minute on my own, man this sucksā€ sorts of pictures. My favorite picture, and probably the thing I’ve worked so far that I liked the most, was this creepy lil’ gem:

Boo.

It’s a picture of a wall outlet. It’s just an ordinary electrical plug. But through the magic of a ā€œI’m not sure what I’m doing with this camera why won’t it FREAKING WORK WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BRIGHT oh cool, this looks dementedā€ moment, it actually turned into something that I think is really neat.Ā  There’s just something rather haunting about it.

I did the other two assignments, and while I liked the playlist poetry one, I thought this was a lot more fun:

And honestly, those are really the only things I want to make a specific call-out to. Most of my other stuff isn’t bad — I think several of my other pictures are actually quite good — but these are the ones I liked the most. (And there’s an archive feature, if you’re still curious!) Overall, the first part of the semester was quite a lot of fun.
