Blog 5: Mentorship and Research Reflection

Finding a mentor for digital photography was pleasant. Jack was my ROP teacher last year and he had no TA (for the biggest class he has ever had!) before I asked him to be my mentor, so we were both about as equally excited.

Wow, well the most important article I have read so far has been "Visual Design: Using Color in Photography" by David Peterson. So far I have been focusing mostly on the color use in photography. This man is a genius! He has explained color so well in this article, it was eye opening and mind blowing. I know what color is but he knows how to use it, when to use it, and he is excellent at explaining color. All of his articles are magnificently explanatory. I have never understood when and how to use black and white photography; he has another article specifically for that. Also very informative. Black and white photography may not be my personal challenge any longer. Peterson even explains why he uses what controls in Photoshop and on his camera!
