Over summer, I was struggling to decide what I should do for my Capstone Project. There were numerous things I could do, some of the things I was familiar with, and some of them I wasn’t. I had been looking to get a camera for a while, just because I wanted better quality pictures for when we go animal scouting, or even when I came across something I wanted to capture.

Much like others, I have also related to this mindset in the past. As much as I enjoy recording videos of things and taking pictures, I still would rather take less pictures and witness plenty of memories with my own eyes. I was once on a seven kilometre hike through a forest, on my way to a waterfall in the summer. Although it was fairly level terrain and little hills, it was my first ever hike, and it was very challenging to me. When I finally arrived at the waterfall, I just sat there for a moment and relaxed, taking in nature, as opposed to pulling out my phone to take pictures right away.

Nearly every time our family eats in Cracker Barrel, we get a laugh about some of the old photographs hanging on the wall. It is hard to believe that those people had to be perfectly still for a very long time to just take one picture. In the time it has taken me to write this paragraph, my dad took a bunch of pictures of our cat. On just our phones alone, the picture quality, speed, and color were probably unimaginable 100 years ago.

The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not.

Using instant film is unique because unlike film photography, it does not need to be processed with chemicals or in a darkroom; the film develops right before your eyes. Using this kind of film allowed the children to watch each photograph develop.
