Perspective
We were all in the same physical place but had different ideas, shots, cameras, editing styles, and interpretations which resulted in us all taking different photos that all came out really cool.

I learned how to use prisms!

Lessons
The only way to get better is to get out of your comfort zone.
How many different ways can one building be photographed, edited, framed? The truth is the number is endless because each person has their own style. So keep going out and shooting, editing, and getting better.
Life is not meant to be done alone.
Reach Out. Sometimes things aren’t easy behind the mask.

Pay for parking!
Unfortunately this photo walk I got my first boot for parking in the Varsity parking lot… Pay for parking in a lot. Because of this I have a sour taste in my mouth for half of the photos.

Series Reflection
At the start of this series I felt like I didn’t appreciate the work I already have and putting together this series has allowed me to reflect, compliment, enjoy my art, and I’m so happy to be sharing my photos and memories. Crew Wednesday’s was one of the best things I have ever decided to participate in. I met amazingly kind people, learned a lot, created in ways I didn’t know were possible, walked a healthy amount, genuinely enjoyed my time, and it even resulted in me getting my very first billboard!!
