I have learned a lot from this class not only about taking picture but also about the multi-cultural city that is Berlin. Because our class was very international and diverse I also learned about many different countries and through the eyes of students my age. It was really a great experience and something that I will remember forever. I found out my weaknesses and strengths throughout doing this assignment. I realized that I am not shy to talk to people briefly and take their picture but I am more reserved and do not talk long. My brain is scattered sometimes and it is hard to focus but when I do I can take pretty good pictures. Unlike others in the class I am not that great with taking pictures of people so this assignment was pretty difficult. I am better at taking pictures of still objects and places. I took many photographs of workers around Berlin but narrowed all of them to just nine which I believe to be the best and most diverse. I picked different occupations and people representing different countries in order to show how diverse and multicultural Berlin really is. I realized that I took a lot of portrait shots so I also tried to diversify my pictures with some perspective shots as well. Even though I do not know these people on a personal level, I remember my journey throughout this past month and I will remember the stories that go along with each photo.
