Self Portrait Re-Shoot

 So after reading all of the comments, I decided to go ahead and re-do the self portrait that was focused on my hair, and expanded on it a lot. Although some of you mentioned that I should re-do the portrait with my dog sitting in the chair, I felt that it was hard to expand on that photograph and be creative with it, while also handling my dog. Some of the comments mentioned that I should incorporate more grass/green into this photograph... That was attempted, but I don't have a tripod and was directing my mom to take the photographs, and it was hard to explain to her exactly what I wanted in/out of the composition.... I felt that, for her sake, it was easier to take a photograph with my fence as my background. So that's what I ended up doing. I then used some fake flowers to bring in a "nature" element and photoshopped in my hands holding the flowers at different levels.

I would like to use their perspectives and unique stories as inspiration for photographs, and to create still-life images that are representative of their experiences of life. These still-life images would reflect the black and white style Calle utilizes in her Hotel series. If this works well, I would like to have captions/quotes from my interviews under each photograph, to provide a simple and vague backstory of my work.

BLOG POST/ WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THE TIMES WE ARE IN

Pictures from hiking while at home on Long Island, New York. I've been hiking everywhere with my dog since I've been home.        My best friend always says the phrase, "When you make plans, God laughs." Growing up, she would throw that phrase around whenever we both face any sort of inconvenience: Getting stuck in traffic, forgetting to study for a test, coming in dead last in a race when we were expecting 1st place. Although all of these things seemed like a big deal at the time, with the COVID-19 crisis currently among us, it's pretty obvious that these slight detours in life were actually quite small. Getting stuck in traffic might make you late for the day. Failing a test may slightly affect your GPA. Losing a race could cost you a medal. A worldwide pandemic costs a bit more.      "When you make plans, God laughs." - It's a little sinister to think that God would be laughing right now , but yet that phrase seems to perfectly...
