About the project making process

I always thought that the hardest thing to do in such a thing as photography series/project is to come up with the idea, but now I know that it is just a third of a way you need to go by. I have understood on practice that updating and processing, and editing through updating and processing is the rest of the way, and maybe the most important its part.
Expressing yourself is very difficult, and I guess it is even more difficult when it depends on a kind of technique things that you just need to learn to work with in addition to reach your goal/make your vision real.
Also the project helped me to realize how it feels to arrange a photosession. I faced a lot of difficulties, and the biggest one was human-factor; people get late - it is normal, people have an opinion even on things they do not have to think about (I mean my work and my project) - it is normal, people want to look beautifully on pictures - it is also normal, people have different tastes and opinions on what is beautiful - it is normal, again. So, you must work and consider lightening, make-up, clothes, detailes, camera settings and mood of people you are shooting.
But there were a lot of good and not stressful things also; it was fun, because I was doing something that interests me a lot, and also because my friends were with me; I have learned a lot of technique things in my camera; and I met a lot of interesting creative people (from the chemistry gallery).
I really enjoyed the time I spent on doing my project that I named "Mosaics".
