The idea behind this project was that I wanted to capture Kalamazoo with its shadows. I initially wanted to take pictures of Kalamazoo from a birds-eye view from the top of buildings, but Covid kept me from doing this.

Every day, I noticed people going up to the top of the hill near my house, watching the sunset and sunrise, and wondered why they did this. But to understand why people were doing this, I immerse myself in my project and watched the sunrise and sunset. I also noticed the shadows from the top of the hill, which fueled this project’s idea.

With this, I took pictures every hour to two hours to see the shadows move in my photographs. I started this project at 2 pm and continued it into the next day until 2 pm. I enjoyed this project, and it got me to wake up early to enjoy nature and the beautiful community of Kalamazoo.

Overall I enjoyed this class and gained a new love and appreciation for taking pictures. But I would say that my final project was successful even though I didn’t get to do my initial idea. I got to see this idea of shadows and being outside to the end of enjoyed every minute of it.

When I was taking these pictures, I saw lots of people just enjoying the scenery of the top of the hill and its views it had to offer. For example, when I took the sunrise picture, at least ten people were watching. We were all socially distant, of course.

Another example was with the night picture, and I noticed a couple was listening to music while admiring the stars on their car’s hood. I appreciated seeing the people for a time that seems down and dreary with the pandemic. This class was entertaining, and I enjoyed seeing everyone’s photos and effort towards the class.
