Independent Project Progress

3/23/2014

Over the summer break when I was halfway through my driving independent project I realized that I hadn't really seen the value in the project. Yes, driving is a skill we must all learn but I didn't believe it was something I was going to be EXTREMELY proud of after completing. Plus, like I said, it's something we all need to learn; it wasn't going to be something new. The independent project to me meant much more than an activity to burn time over the break. I believe that this project allows me to pursue anything that I am passionate about or you believe in, something with VALUE, and I wasn't doing this through driving.
After thinking deeper about other ideas I came up with the photography project. This is something I love to do and I see a HUGE value in. So what a better idea to design a photography project in which I take advantage of the free time in vacation to LEARN and IMPROVE my photography skills and then create an amazing product, like an exhibition or book, to showcase my learning.  
Ever since January 14th I've been working on this new project and I can't tell you how much it means to me and how excited I've been as I've worked through it. So far I've completed part of it and I want to take this day to organize everything I've done and show my progress and everything I've learned so far.
