Reflection:
It was a fun experience taking pictures of the mundane. I was asked by neighbors what I was doing and a couple approached me with suspicion but I told them I was a student and explained my assignment. I learned that it is completely normal, or normalzed by Eggleston to take pictures of random things, of the mundane. This assignment confirmed that and goring forward I think I will enjoy and relish taking pictures of the mundane instead of being self conscious about it. I know now that mundanity can be elevated if photographed well.
