Antiques

I absolutely love antiques. The telephone and camera's are all in my own home, and one day when I was looking at them I just decided to use them for a photo project that we were just assigned. All I did was try to get as many different angles as possible so that I had options for my collage. I've very happy with how my project turned out.

Damaged Beauty

This bird represents, for me, the fact that even with all our scares and imperfections everyone is beautiful. This bird had a skin disease that caused it to subconsciously pluck it's feathers. I saw it at an event my parents were working under the "Exotic Animal Habitat" tent and thought it was the most adorable thing I ever saw. When the lady working there told me about it's disease and how its beginning to heal, I was compelled to snap a photo because of its story. Though some may disagree with my opinion, I think that even with it's imperfections that little bird is beautiful.

Last Name

The photos inside each letter of my last name all represent me in one way or another. Photography is the best hobby I've ever had, which explains why it's represented in my first photo. I feel that my "Damaged Beauty" photo is most definitely the best photo I've taken so far. My favorite candy is Hershey's chocolate kisses because they're delicious and classic. Music keeps me sane, so I had to include it in representing me. Cherry blossoms are beautiful in my eyes and in the Japanese culture they value the purity and simplicity of the cherry blossom. Everyone of these photos means something to me and that's why I included them in representing me.
