While taking both sets of pictures, I had to look closer at my surroundings and actively look for things that would make interesting photos. Most of this was done at my house, so I did a lot of looking around inside and outside and got a better appreciation for the place I live in since I got so many nice pictures from it. The first set of pictures was a lot easier since there was no categories for them, and I just made up my own theme for the pictures. It was easier to make them feel like they all belonged together. The second set of pictures was more difficult because of how specific each one is, especially the name one, which I feel like didn't turn out that great. The first set of pictures was more enjoyable because of being able to make my own theme for them. The second set of pictures did make me think harder and be more analytical about my surroundings which was interesting but not quite as enjoyable. My favorite image is in the first set of photos of the side of my barn with the overgrown garden below it. I really like the texture of the worn out wood and how there are so many variations in shades of blue. I also really like the picture I took of my mom through the stained glass heart because that was pretty creative and I don't feel like I'm a very creative person in general.
