So the other day I was looking through my blog to see how far I’d come over the past 13 months. I thought that I’d improved, but I wasn’t quite sure how to directly show it. With the exception of sports, which I didn’t shoot that much until last year, I couldn’t think of a way to show how I’ve improved in my time at UGA (which is quickly coming to a close).
Then it hit me. There was in fact one thing that I had shot every year since I came to the University. The Demosthenian All Night Meeting, which I posted about here, was something I could actually directly compare. So, I dug through my archives and came up with one photo per year to illustrate how I use to shoot versus how I shoot now.

| 2008 – Not scared to get closer to my subjects, able to use my strobe and improved composition. |
|
|
| 2007 – Just moved over to a Canon 20D. White balance and lighting issues galore. I believe I attempted to shoot ambient light. |
|
|
| 2006 – First venture at shooting in Demosthenian Hall with a digital SLR, used on camera flash and fairly weak composition. Lets not forget that giant glare on the left side. |

| 2005 – Shot with a point-and-shoot digital camera. Direct flash, no moment, boring composition, backgrounds aren’t controlled, etc… |
