-Lighting Assingment-
I think I could have had a broader range on the lighting assingment. I think if I would have had more options I would have had a better example of the exact lighting I was trying to portray. I also learned that a photo can look very different on your camera, then when it is uploaded onto your computer. It may come out blurry, or not as clear as it looked on your camera. Which is why we take tons of picture of the one object so you have more options. The lighting assignment was kind of a learning experience for me, and also a better way to test my knowledge of the different lighting elements. I think it also helped me to learn how to take, for example, a good silhouette picture, and learn the elements that go into that type of picture. If I were to do this assingment over, I would have a more broad range, and take twice the amount of pictures, and also vary my objects that I use. Some objects will really carry out the type of photo you are trying to accomplish better than others.

"Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts."
To me, this quote means that photography is all about capturing a picture. Once the picture has taken, the artist has created a piece of art. The contents of the picture are now captured in a frame. The facts are now noticed, and looked at. You may have added meaning to that object, or made it stand out in a way that wasn't noticed before. You can also vary the point of view in a photo, and make a simple object, seem much more obstract one you capture it in a picture. I think what he is saying in this quote is that the goal of photography is to take a simple, everyday, ordinary object, and capture it, to make it your own as a piece of art, and as an artist.

"God is in the details"
My interpretation of this quote is that God is everywhere. He is in all creation and parts of life. When we take pictures of different things or people in the world, God is also in this creation. We can see and recognize God in creation by realizing He is the creator and He also is everywhere. He is in every part of the world, at all times, and with all people. Therefore, when we capture a moment with our cameras, it preserves that time, moment, and detail forever. God is present in that moment also and is responsible for that creation we capture. Also, sometimes when you first take a picture or see something, you don't always recognize the minor details in the photo. Sometimes it takes critical viewing of the photo and time to really realize the message or meaning behind the photo, along with all the little details captured in the photo. It is the same with God. You do not always realize He is there because you cant physically see him. However, that does not mean that He isn't there. You have to look beyond just the physical aspect, and search farther. There is always a meaning behind a photo, and we have to look behind just the picture itself, and capture the meaning also.
