This project was a little odd for me. I found it very difficult to switch from creating elements myself, to using photographs. The whole process lacked the normal cohesiveness that I've become accustomed to. There were separations in the method of creating these: One part was photography, one part was splicing photos together.
My brain goes into a different mode when I'm taking pictures. I don't see them as pieces, I see them as pictures, and that's all.
I think if I did this more often, my eye for photographic content would change. I would select images differently; I would think of images differently. While I feel that the ability to think of images and shapes the way this project requires is a valuable skill, I am currently not very comfortable with it.
