Today marks the end of our 36 strangers assignment, and I have never felt more relieved in my life. I made the mistake of putting off shooting for most of the semester because I felt like I had all the time in the world. Wednesday morning, two days before the major assignment was due, I only had six usable images. I had around twenty total, but I hadn't gotten all of the personal information I needed to accompany the portraits.
I created a spreadsheet of each stranger's name, age, hometown, and interesting fact so that I could keep track of how many photos I had with each lighting requirement. Somehow it made everything seem a little clearer, and I now know how to keep myself in line during future work. As stressful as it was, I'm glad that it was assigned and proud of myself for refusing to give up.
Procrastination is opportunity's assassin.
