Flickr Project Reflection
Hi everyone! Honestly, I really procrastinated doing this project. Doing the readings was fun for me, but actually taking the photos felt daunting. I kept prioritizing other things, and it made me anxious about if I was going to finish the project on time. However inefficient, I found inspiration in that process of procrastination. What McLuhan was saying on page 92 about environment and separation, antisocial behavior, visual rhyming, and amateurism popped into my head while I was on a walk around midnight last night. I had spent an hour or two with people pre-gaming and going bar hopping, but I left early because I felt childish for being sober. Bless their hearts they were very kind and didn't pressure me at all! I just spent my time looking around and feeling like by not drinking I was engaged in some sort of antisocial behavior. Not that sobriety is anything special; I just felt like every place we went had a visual rhyme to them, and in those environments, I was out of place...
