Drift Assesment 3

Q: Describe three surprises or unexpected situations you encountered on your Drifts and in the days that followed. The surprise could stem from your expectations that conflicted with "on the ground" realities, cultural or social issues of which you were previously unaware, feelings and reactions that you did not expect to have, appearances and soundings of things you did not expect, good or bad outcomes of "on the spot" decisions you had to make, or the discovery of "deeper" realities in the materials you brought home

A: I honestly thought I was doomed when I started looking through the images I had for drift two. Working solely with pictures and no video, it was a difficult task to create a sense of motion that the pictures deserved. Though I worked around such a crippling situation, I still feel that the images could have been more alive.
Drift two also created a deeper sense of self for me. Being on stage playing at a different venue every night made me appreciate the dedication to the music regardless of a crowd. The pictures I took of the band playing were nothing short of inspiring. The dedication the band puts toward every note sung or played eliminated the turmoil we experienced on the road.
