Devolution – History through Illustration presented in reverse chronological order

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…
