Ambiguity & Clarity

              From the critique, I received a number of ideas that I could apply to my piece. My message of progression from clarity to ambiguity was picked up by my peers which was great to hear. I received some suggestions as to the arrangement of my pictures. The first suggestion was to create an even spacing between each of the photos. Next was to use the same photo or location for each photo in the collage and use different crops or magnifications for each section of the photo. The only technical flaw that was pointed out was the settings on the camera when I took the photos. Each photo had a slight sepia tint (or large tint) that affected how each image looked. Next time I decide to take photos at night I should make sure to adjust the settings to prevent the sepia tint. In all, I am really happy with how my project turned out and hope to pursue photographing a similar series in the future but improve in my weaker areas.
