7 November

Today was challenging to say the least. We went to stage our interaction and there were a lot of bumps in the road to say the least. The cardboard cut outs we made were super bulky to carry, and with the background stands, chair, and hanging materials, it was nearly impossible for us to comfortably get to Trafalgler Square to shoot, and we were turned away because we did not request a permit to shoot. We moved to another location but the wind was so strong and our set was so light, it fell over constantly. We moved to Leicester Square to avoid the wind but by the time we set up, the sun had set and we couldn't use natural light as we planned (thankfully we had a flash camera). Finally, people were not as willing to participate in our interaction as I thought they would. We originally aimed for 10 photos of people in our interaction but barely were able to get 5.

In the end, this a testament to logistical planning. If we had thought through the actual gears of our set etc. we would've seen potential factors that would go wrong. If the set wasn't as flimsy then we could've stayed above Trafalgler Square where people where more willing to participate. But since we rushed the set as so we could shoot on Thursday bc Friday is supposed to rain and Maya isn't free Saturday, the whole photoshoot was a mess. I did not listen to the advice I gave myself about not rushing as I did regarding the printing and I paid the price for it. Again, RUSHED PLANNING CREATES RUSHED WORK WHICH IS BAD QUALITY
