My Plan:

1.

            Who: I might include people in my photographs but am not too sure.

            What: I will be taking macro photographs of different subject matter.

            Where: I will travel to different parks and around town to find my subject matter.

            When: I will be collecting my photographs over the next two weeks for this project.

2. 

            I chose this style/method because it is a combination of my two favorite types of photography. Over the next two weeks, I plan to collect a very large amount of photographs for this project using the camera that I own. I will walk around Tualatin or I will drive to different parks/recreational areas to find different subject matter. From this project, I hope to learn how to find other subject matter besides strictly plants and nature. I also hope to learn how to find subject in all of my surroundings to give me an infinite amount of matter to photograph. While photographing this, I anticipate getting many weird looks from passersby because of the weird ways I will be contorting my body. Along with that, I hope to get hundreds of photographs for this project.
