I enjoyed this assignment quite a bit. Our job was to “get lost” and simply take pictures. I loved being out in nature and being free to take pictures of whatever I thought was interesting or beautiful. I came away with many great shots that I did not use in the final slideshow because I decided to stay in the woods. I loved the shape of this one broken tree. I really appreciated the beauty that could be found in its shape and bark even when it was dying. When asked to add in the media quotes I immediately tried to do the opposite of our original assignment. We were assigned to “get lost” in the wood and nature that should be an easy thing to do. However with our technology expanding and living in a world when we are always being watched it is now almost impossible to get lost. Our world has violated nature, a place that is supposed to be sacred and holy, and we have infiltrated it with our own ideals and views. We can no longer simply be in nature or appreciate it. Even nature is affected by our developing and changing world. The media quote represent “The modern woods”.
