To start with one memorable moment would have to be the first day of class and walking in to find that all of my peers are seniors while I was a junior. I feel like this impacted my learning because their presence, to me, was of those who where more skilled and talented photographers and gave me a boost to try harder, take more interesting images and to show the seniors that I, a junior, could stand on the podium with them in the winning circle.
My other highlight was not one specific moment in the class but something that reoccured over and over in the class. And that was having the choice to create what I wanted to create the way I wanted to. I feel like this greatly improved my learning experience because I was able to decide what I wanted to know and because of that I feel like I was more involved with what I was learning and was more interested in what I was learning then I would have been if I was being force fed the curriculum.
Finally, I also loved New York and how eye opening it was to me because I had only ever majorly traveled before but that was to Italy and it was so different from my past experiences that I couldn't help but to be in awe and amaze at all of the beautiful things there. However New York was different to me I entered without thinking of it as a fairytale like place like Italy or Spain. Once I got there however I realized how much of a fairytale place it truly was. I believe that this was a major eye opener because I never once imagined that I could be so infatuated with a place like New York. I mainly loved how wherever you looked there was always a million image possibilities because of how diverse the city and the people of the city were.
