Week Four Reflection:

I have found that the grateful project has made the way i take photos and what a take photos of more creative than most of my regular assignments.I actually cared about the pictures I was taking because they were all things that made a great deal to me and I wanted to be taking the pictures. With my day nineteen photo I took it at exactly the right time I wanted to because i felt that it was more effective than if I just took a random picture.

The most difficult part of this project was trying to figure out what I was most grateful for. The most valuable part of this project is it taught me to cherish the little things and moments in my life no matter how small it might seem at the time. I would recommend this assignment to another student because I think it made me a better person and more appreciative of things I normal wouldn't be.

A theme I would use as a twenty grateful project would be family. A lot of people take their families and parents for granted and I would hope that my project would give them a deeper thinking of what their family really goes through on a daily basis.
