Serafino,
I did not see your post about the final meeting until last night and unfortunately I am unable to come since I have to make up an exam during that time. However, I will post my final post here. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I have taken many drawing courses at school but this was my first photography class. I came into this class not knowing anything about photography and felt that I have learned so much. I absolutely love the way a picture is developed; I was always curious how exactly it worked. I did not expect it to be all about capturing light on the paper and the fact that it all involves LIGHT, how the light hits the paper and how long its on the paper, is somewhat magical to me. Any little difference you make, whether with the filter or time, can result in an almost entirely different photo. Through this course my appreciation for photography has grown immensely and I really do plan on taking what I've learned back with me to the United States.

My favorite pictures I've taken this semester were in Paris and Rome. When I knew I was taking this course I knew I had to get a beautiful black and white picture of the Eiffel Tower, and I did. Unfortunately, the one thing I was not able to do in this course was scan my pictures onto the computer.



This picture was taken on my digital camera and wish I could have taken on my traditional but could not because I could not zoom in on the traditional.


This is also was taken on my digital camera but I was also able to capture it on my traditional. It came out perfectly and is one of my favorites.

Another picture I took that I really enjoyed was captured at the perfect time. While in front of the pantheon I tried to take a picture of the older man playing with what is assumed to be his granddaughter in the fountain. As he is looking into the fountain and holding the little girl she turns her head with her pacifier in her mouth right towards my camera and smiles. Thats when I snapped the photo.

Thank you so much for everything Serafino! I learned so much this semester and had so much fun! I always looked forward to coming to your class! Have a great summer and again thank you!

-Allison
