Reaction Paper 3

Last week I got the opportunity to hear the photographic career path of another one of my professors, Cyr.  He explained how he got to where he is today.  It takes more planning than I initially thought, you always have to be one step ahead and know what your next move is.  I is beneficial to have a goal and to plan out what you want to do so you can achieve steps that will get you to the end result that you want.  Life moves faster than you realize so its good to be on your toes and always think of the future.
I am also going to react to the art gallery on campus from staff members of the college.  I particularly liked the piece that was a collage.  In the world of digital art i often forget other mediums exist.  It was cool to see a picture/panting combined with clippings from real magazines and other cutout photos.  It is something i don't really see often so it was good to broaden my art horizon.

I also am posting some important information that I found from doing my research project about travel photography, This is what I got from my research.
And the picture above is some of my own travel photography which I also turned into my diversity project.
