Feedback On Assignment 5.
Well how can I put this, really disappoint in reaction from tutor to what I've put together here. Some of its my own fault in that I interpreted that the point of this assignment was to pull together all that I'd done in my previous assignments and create a final collection from the photos that I felt work best. Well turns out this was way off and that in fact my tutor was expecting me to have selected one area and to have expanded on it creating my final collection. I think I'm probably more annoyed with myself than anyone else but its just so deflating as I'd put so much time and effort into getting together a collection I was really happy with and thought work well, only then to be told that actual it isn't as good and you need to go back to the drawing board. Anyway enough of the rant time to get back to work, on the upside my tutor still considers my National Park collection to be the strongest and recommends I try expanding this maybe bringing in some of the ideas from my other work so that's the plan right now. Beginning to feel a little concerned again that this course is getting more and more away from what my intentions are for it and that its turning into what my tutor want to see and less what I want to do with it somehow.

An interesting reflection - especially the last part. I can't see what the perceived fault with the double exposure set is? Is it technically not good enough? Is there a lack of theoretical context behind it? I don't know many other photographers who have used it but assume it would not take much work to find some and consider your set in relation to theirs. Clearly you have some difficult choices, but your last comment put me in mind of an assignment for landscape my then tutor advised that it needed redoing as in his view it did not meet the brief. I reflected on this in my log, carried out more research but in the end submitted the original set albeit with two slight changes to two photos. This worked. So you have to decide which risk to take. Good luck.
