assessment 3

In drift 2 I found that even small movements caught on film can be fascinating. I filmed a small plant that was subtly being blown by the wind. I liked that footage more than most of the other things I captured whose movement was much more overt.

Again from drift 2 with those birds. It was so surprising to me how close I could get to them, I could have almost reached out my hand and grabbed one had I wanted. It really spoke to me about how not being in a rush can allow situations to unfold and how it allows the insertion of ones self into a situation without disrupting that moment.

I took the drift one walk in the blizzard because I needed to collect my sounds. I did not expect it to be such a meditative, serene experience. The snow makes everything new and creates it's own world. The older I get the more annoyed I seem to be by the snow, but in some moments I remember why as I child I loved it so much.
