This was my first time ever developing and printing color film myself. The assignment was named "Golden Hour", and we were asked to study how light affects our surroundings. I tried several different filter settings to experiment with the print colors, and the simplicity of the image helped me understand the adjustments I was making. Overall, I was happy with how regal and dignified the skeleton is depicted, and the contrast with the details that reveal that he's just a cheap plastic Halloween decoration. My analog photography class in school has become a massive part of my life, every new technique that we learn in class makes the work exponentially fun while also pushing me to progressively become a better photographer. In my opinion, this print represents how I am able to learn in this class. The trial and error aspect of this print shows the typical learning process that we experience in class. The reason that I managed to perfect this print is because I find this class so fun and engaging. My teachers assign very interesting and inspiring projects that push the students to find new ways to make better art in this specific medium. Thanks to my teachers, my confidence and creativity as an artist had been lifted.

To be creative means that you are capable of warping how you see your surroundings. With photography specifically, I have learned to profoundly see everything going on in my life and how to make art out of it.
