Project

Project Progress Report March, 13th, 2009 1) **What progress have you made on your project?** My project is a huge undertaking for me both artistically and organizationally. Thus, my first steps have concerned themselves with the later. I organized and outlined my project, guidelines, and ideas for the "client driven" portion of my project beyond the "initial proposal" formatting. I also formulated a shooting schedule that requires me to shoot every day in addition to undertaking the smaller projects that will breakdown my project. I have also received multiple ideas for reading from my mentor and have begun to sort through them. Furthermore, I met with Mark to discuss my project and create a possible topic expert connection. I was given feedback and advice by Mark in addition to him agreeing to continue to give me support as I move forward with the project. Additionally, I set up a Flickr account, supplementary to my personal one, so that my mentor, teachers, topic expert and even students would have the large format files available to them for critique or printing.

Most importantly, I started shooting in homeroom this morning!


 * 2) What three specific goals do you have to accomplish next?**
 * I need to outline my "mini projects" so that I can set goals for myself and apply them to my shooting scedual
 * I need to talk to my parents, the school, and Mr. MacFarland about the pricing for printing
 * Meet again with Mark to discuss possible topic experts

I just finished the formal flushing out of my project proposal but I still have received feed back. I spoke with Mark yesterday (March, 12th, 2009) which pretty much just inspired me to shoot, shoot, shoot all the time and just dive head first into my project.
 * 3) What input have you sought out for your project and how has it helped?**
 * At first, I should just shoot every day, hundreds of shots, not even conciously at first, then review the pictures and see what emerges
 * We additionally discussed mounting ideas for my project installation in the classroom


 * I have additionally provided a link to my Flickr page that was created exclusively for this project and that I will be updating consistently for the next two months:**

April, 17th, 2009 1) What progress have you made on your project? My project has been proverbally "swept under the rug" recently because of my follies with getting a draft out. However, I shot an inordinate amount of pictures that I'm really happy with at the pep rally in the end of March.
