While taking photos I noticed a difference in the way my mind processed what I was looking at compared to when I was sketching things. I noticed that it was harder for more minute details to stand out and actually be noticed by me when I was taking pictures versus sketching them. With that being said, I was also able to see more detail in the photos I took than I was able to with my naked eye, and I was able to look at things from different perspectives, such as looking at a tree from the level of the forest floor. It was similar to sketching in the sense that with photos, I was still trying to capture and tell a story of what I saw so that I and others can experience what was seen from my perspective during each blog. This process, both of sketching and photography has helped me look at my site in a different way, because I can now look at it from different perspectives and also compare what it looked like from visit to visit.
