The project that tired to kick my ass.

photography
photography And when I kicked back I broke my foot.
So, once upon a time there was an aspiring little photographer named Maggie Ann who thought it would be "fun," "cool," "neat," to take a Creative Photography class. She had always wanted to learn how to shoot, develop, and print her own images. She started the class with much naivety and enthusiasm. It is now a little over a month into the course and she is downtrodden and discouraged. She worked hard on a project that may very well be impossible to perfect (at least for her and her ineptitude). The project involved shooting a whole roll of film that would, when put together on a contact sheet, make one large image. Each shot would, like a puzzle, just be a piece of the a the grand image that was to be built. Poor little Maggie shot and shot until she had wasted approximately 6 rolls of film and a whole 25 pack of photographic paper (this equals a lot, A LOT, of money). And still Lil' Maggie was unhappy with her project. Never the less, the due date encroached and she sucked it up and found one that she was semi-alright with (though she is pretty positive that the teacher will be, at the very least, semi-unhappy with). And here it is, in all its vain attempt for glory:
