1) Digital Photography was an interesting class to take. It provided a new perspective on something so simple as a photograph. In the beginning of the class, I couldn't grasp the meaning of capturing a moment and telling a story. I thought I could click a button and be done. However, when you're capable of either putting together an image or capturing one, there's truly more than meets the eye. Everything tells a story and everything has a reason. Just because it's not obviously given, it doesn't mean that it's there. I've grown as a student in their course with the understanding of what photography really is. I didn't pick these works based off the grades, but off the feedback. The more you can argue or discuss a photo, you realize the better it is. It shows how many stories it really can tell.2) Dystopia offers a new perspective on pieces of writing. These pieces generally give the unexpected which you'd find in a typical work. After reading a few works we had to create our own dystopian allegory. This task was difficult at first because we had a lot on freedom with what we could write about. However once I got my idea it became easier and more enjoyable to continue. It helped me better understand the purpose behind a dystopian story.
