Reflection on the Photo Journal
At first, I was rather reluctant to carry out the project, for I didn't really understand what the speaker, Maria, expected us to do. However, I soon realized that this was the whole point of the project. It was one of those go with the flow things. So I did and I discovered that taking the photos really focused my attention on my burning question. When we were looking at all of the class photos, it appeared that the photos helped my fellow mayawestonians to see things that they didn't normally notice. Overall, I think the project achieved its purpose of getting people out of their comfort zone and really looking at their surroundings. If I was going to do this project in elementary school, I would use magazines. Although magazines would not be as authentic as photo, I believe that I could achieve a similar effect by using the magazine pictures that the students' selected. Mary
