Trends and Ideas- Yamariah Walters

While going through my negatives for my free roll, I didn't really notice any trends. However, I did come to realize that I like to shoot objects and make them interact with another object, mainly the body of surfaces. For instance, one of my free rolls were of my legs and feet where I had placed pennies on my body. But as far as I am concerned a CONSTANT trend for my free roll is shooting whatever idea i have at the moment or whatever catches my eye. I don't know if this is a bad thing or not. In addition, when I look at my images a lot comes to my head. The main thing being how I could do better or what the next step in the process should be. Also, a lot more ideas come to my head the play off the negatives. But most importantly how I could do better because there is always room for improvement. Lastly, if I could shoot anything from now til December 15th that would ultimately become my body of work for the semester I think I would  shoot the process of death for cattle like from the time of birth to the time the are in the grocery store. At first I just wanted to shoot meat in a slaughter house but I think the process in its entirety is more important. The only thing I find that may keep me from that is funds, but when the time comes I will jump on that because it has been in my head for awhile now with about 10 other ideas.
