Assignment 5 feedback

I have been going through my feedback from my tutor on the last assignment of this course and overall I feel it is pretty positive.  In fact it is probably the best feedback I have received of all the assignments I have submitted.

I found this subject - time - pretty challenging to capture so I was glad to get feedback that reflected this and stated that I had 'done well in pursuing the development of my exploration of time'. He also said that it was 'good to see you thinking about the topic and not just how best generally to represent it photographically but more importantly how I want to'.  He then mentioned that this my progression to'developing your own voice'.  Yes the 'voice' word.  I have struggled for so long wondering what my voice would be, how you would know when you are on the way to finding it and whether I would ever have a 'voice'.

On the images itself there were a few minor technical issues - adding a little contrast to one or two and a tighter crop suggested for the last image of the series.  I have to saw that I agree with the contrast but I do not want to crop out the left hand side of the last image - Out of darkness cometh light.

This side of the image for represents the past, or a darker side of life.  Having the dark passage beside the light to me presents a challenging contrast to the viewer - which path to take or which place have you come from.

For this reason I believe I want to leave the image as it is.

Comments were also made about about image 5 which contains some noise which would be visible if the image was to printed enlarged.  This could be re-visited if I felt the need to enlarge the shot.

Overall I feel that this was an enjoyable assignment to complete and has given me a theme to continue working on in the future.  Time is a huge subject and I look forward to discovering new ways to represent.  I also look forward to seeing if time comes to have a different meaning for me as I grow older or my circumstances change.
