Question 4

My favorite experience during the treks was when I was in a park and this flock of birds was flying around me. I took these pictures and the seemed so peaceful. It just made me feel so connected with nature. it was beautiful.

Question 3

The biggest surprise was after my trek when I started to look at my pictures again. I found pictures that I did not like when I took them but found them to be quite beautiful now. The exact same thing happened to me on trek 1. And one more thing that surprised me was the sheer distance that I walked on my treks. I walked from the third ward all the way back to campus, and not just in a straight line. I twisted and turned all throughout the city.

Question 2

When I first got my microphones working I felt very contemplative. I was astonished by what I had created with my two hands. The sound was so amazing. The other time was when I walked to the shore and there was this big outlet where for all around all I could not any people. I just sat and enjoyed the sun and the warmth.

Question 1

There were many situations that aggravated me throughout trek 1 and trek 2. The worst was in the very beginning of trek 1 when it was very hard to find a spot where the wind was not blowing all the way through the wind screens. Another aggravating situation was the day I shot for trek 2 and I forgot gloves. My hands nearly froze off.
