Unfortunately this assignment came at a bad time for me as we were going through a personal family tragedy and I am not in the best frame of mind to really concentrate on matters at hand. However, to complete this assignment, I still tried something that would show some of the emotions that I am feeling at the moment and try something small.
As I am in a bereaved state of mind, I thought I come up with something simple to create. A couple of years ago I was given a present of some attachment lenses for my phone. I used these apparatus a couple of times before my last phone packed up and have hardly used them since. I thought I give these lenses a try out as they just screw onto a bracket which in turn clips onto the edge of my phone. This is the first time I have used the front camera on my phone with these attachments.
What I did find out is that, unlike the rear camera on my phone, I could not zoom in or out with the front camera and the result was so much vignetting that it took almost a circular image. Rather than give up on this project I decided to try to use this to my advantage.
The last photo in this series I used the 5 point kaleidoscope attachment and moved the phone around to get the desired effect. This is an attempt to encapsulate the disjointed feelings that are running through my mind.
Overall, due the mixed emotions that I am in the process of going through, I really cannot say critically whether or not this is a personal refection of my mood. I hope it is and I hope that it shows it in pictorial representation and my time was not wasted.
