Final photo assignment:

I think I underestimated how hard it would be to take pictures at a wedding when you are not the photographer.  I do a Jewish studies program at Maryland and one of the requirements is that we attend an orthodox Jewish wedding, so I did not know the people getting married either. It was really hard to get really close to the bride, and due to Jewish traditions the men's reception is separate so I had to stand on a chair over a wall to get pictures of the men's side.  I also did not realize how blurry my and unfocused my pictures were turning out. If I had done this again, I would have chosen to do a different event in general, or different idea. I think I did well at getting components to as much of the parts of the wedding as possible from beginning to end. Although my pictures were blurry and unfocused I did have hundreds to choose from, so I think I did better at taking more pictures.
