One week after our presentation, I continue to have pride in our presentation and research. I never knew how large the housing problem was, especially here in Austin. I saw constant construction and automatically assumed that housing was not a major problem in the Austin community, but I quickly found out how massive the problem really is. I was extremely surprised to find out about the lack of affordable housing in Austin. My favorite portion of the project was my interview with Mrs. Trudy, even though I had trouble finding someone to interview. She was just so kind and patient and made the interview so easy. I learned so much about the reasons for the housing problems, such as affordable housing. I began to question what the public can do to help the problem. My best idea is raising awareness until the government increases affordable housing. There are enough high-priced, luxuries houses and condos that not everyone can afford. I also thoroughly enjoyed my linked photography course. I always knew you could make a statement through photography but Dr. Kennedy really showed me the power of photography. He described the different forms that photography can be used to make a difference in the world and even the different profession that use photography to make a statement. I learned so much through this presentation.
