What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
I
am so thankful I was able to find such a great mentor easily because I heard
the struggle some of my peers went through to try and find a reliable mentor. He
was so helpful to my project even though my topic changed drastically.
The
most important thing I gained from my mentor is a hands-on way to apply what
you know to any situation. Throughout my mentorship I have been in situations
where no book or article could have told me what to do or how to act. It is
something you learn by doing.
I
have had to deal with rude customers who just won’t cooperate with us and we
have dealt with natural obstacles like the sun and its natural lighting and trying
to time it just right so our photos look their best. I just feel that hands-on
learning is the best way to learn because not only does it test you on what is
happening; it will prepare you for situations that have yet to happen. That
improvisation skill is something that can be applied to so many situations that
happen everyday.

How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ? Please explain.
My mentorship, believe it or not, helped my answer my
essential question by using what I learned and apply it to a larger situation.
Visualizing is key to photography in any branch. What I chose to present is very
different from what I did for my mentorship but what Jack taught me was to
adapt. As different as the two seemed, they are still just two different forms
of photography. Photography in any form is the art and or science of capturing
light whether it is visible or unseen. At one point standard photography was
something that had to be created. It was a science in itself.
The whole point of photography was to take the place of
painting and sketching to develop a new way to document. This is something that
Jack teaches in the first few days of ROP. Photography is a way to document and
scientific photography is documenting new found light. Scientific photography
is all about finding a way to capture what cannot be seen for documenting
purposes just as early photography was a way to capture and document the times.
The comparing and contrasting the two came from working
with my mentor and him helping me change my perspective on what photography is.
