How am I doing?
As a photographer, I think I am doing well. I think I am exploring different kinds of elements of composition, and our new topic; lighting. As I take pictures, I don't really focus on anything, except what I feel would make the picture unique. As I work on editing the picture, I realize that the fact that I didn't really focus on anything made the picture contain even more lighting or anything I was trying to work on. Basically, I don't try to focus on anything, I just take a picture normally and see different element in the picture. In my community, there are tons of different objects to take pictures of. Since my topic is buildings and landscapes, and I live in New York City, there are more than enough things to capture in images.

I'm also exploring the theme with buildings, and I definitely agree with you when you say that lighting is almost essential when taking photographs. As a photographer that is also something that I am trying to work on. Good Luck!
