Four Hundred New Perceptions

The goal for this project was to capture the reflection of the image in a wine glass all the way through town. I knew that I had seen some pictures of neat images reflected in glasses, so I thought it would work pretty well. After I had taken over 400 pictures, I got back and began to edit them together. Most of the images didn't have the reflection that I had hoped for, but it still turned out pretty neat. I would do a few things differently if I had the opportunity, but I learned a lot throughout this project about photography and how tedious the process of creating good content can be.
