Memory..

When I was little, I used to live in California. But my parents one day packed all our things and told us we were moving..I didn't really know what that meant till the day we left.
Living in Colorado felt weird at first, but I was little. So as long as I had room to run around, and friends to play with, I would be fine. My mom home schooled me and all my siblings. So there wasn't many ways to meet new friends. Except for at this PE program she signed us up for..

I'll never forget the name. Josh Bruzford. My very first CO friend, and my first crush. The boy and I were inseparable. We were always with each other, and I even stayed the night at his house. The one thing I think I will always remember, embarrassingly, was practicing my 'first kiss' in the mirror. The day I decided I was going to do it..My mom told me he had moved.
Crazy how moving cam ruin one person's plans, but to another them not even notice.
Even though I was only 7, I never got to tell Josh how I felt. I haven't talked to him since, and I don't know where he is now. But I guess that's how life works, and it will always go on.

Cubism

We were given a still-life to re-create with our media. And mine being photography, and our goal being Cubism, we all did research on what Cubism was. In my interpretation, I thought of it as very square-like elements.

So I took a bunch of pictures of the still-life. Not even knowing how I was going to put them together or what the piece would look like in the end. But once I put all the pictures on the computer, I just started pasting them and eventually ended up with a bunch of over-lapping, choppy pictures. So I changed the layer filter/option so it blended more. And ended up with this.

Self Portrait

This is my Self-Portrait. All I did was take a picture of myself and placed it as the back layer. Then I cropped multiple pictures that I had taken and fit them all onto another layer that I put over the picture of me. I changed the layer style/filter so that it blended with the background image, and voila! 

The reasoning behind this is that I simply love photography. There are no other words to me. Just photography. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep photography. Anything and everything that involves it, I'm there. So that's why this piece is so expressive about me.
