In order to choose my exit project, I had to do a lot of thinking and deciding in order to uncover what I would select as my exit project’s subject. Originally, I had several ideas at hand; learning how to produce film, restoring an old camera, building a camera, and learning post production editing. These projects were my original choices because I am a photography enthusiast and amateur. Later on, I realized that these projects weren’t achievable because of the requirements and difficulty level that came along with attempting the projects; I was at a standstill.

I talked about what is required of me to complete my exit project, what I have done so far, and what I still need to do towards my progress and completion of my time lapse video. Doing this project has helped me discover my purposes for choosing it: to expand my knowledge, experience, and technique on photography, explore my photography capabilities, and to give me a overall opinion on my future in relation to photography. I also will use this project and the experiences that come with it as a test of my faith in myself, patience, and perseverance.
