Photography is a journey.
There is no finish line.
As long as we continue to take pictures, our body of work is going to evolve and change over time. That is to be expected and part of the beauty of this medium we all love.
When we first start this journey we are often carefree, happy and oblivious about the images we are taking.
Then we learn. We grow. We experiment. We find ourselves doing a bit of this and a bit of that.
Over time, we often come to decide that we want to develop more of a voice. We want our work to not only be technically sound, but to represent us and to speak a bit to who we are.
For your final project, I'd like you to concentrate of taking the photos that you are most naturally drawn to taking and develop your style and voice.
Choose a specific genre of photography for your focus.
