Self-Photos

Black and White

This image was very entertaining to capture. The small dot in the sky was an airplane, that was a lucky chance for me I had wedged myself in the corner of my balcony and leaned out so that I appeared to be flying. It took a lot of core to hold myself up, but it was worth the image. I like to think of this image and the saying that you can do anything you believe, well I believe I can fly. Done. 

Blowing bubbles!!! Actually they are giant christmas ornaments that we use to put in the city baskets that we decorate for the winter season. Sitting among the masses of balls was an interesting photo, but I wanted to make it different, so I pretended to blow the ball away. In black and white the flash appears on the ornaments and makes my jacket stand out. Bold and Original. 

The World's Largest Hanging Basket. It is harder to see in black and white, but the lights that set the basket alight, match the color of my rain jacket. The yellows together accented the reds in my hair and my shirt underneath. In black and white you focus more on my look, down at the ground, and my hands holding on to the basket. It almost appears as if I'm afraid to let go, afraid to look down. Me personally I like to hold on to things, so the fact that this projected that without me knowing is a little bit stunning. 

Multiple Exposures

I took a pensive image and overlaid the image of me "flying" onto my scarf. This made it appear as if I was dreaming of flying. My favorite part is just the detail I chose to leave of the tree on the back of my hand. I am imaginative and I like to think that I can imagine in great detail. So here is me, the dreamer. 

My guardian self. In this image I chose to project my belief in my own thoughts. I aim to not care what society thinks about things I do or say, but rather listen to myself. Upraised looks and smiling on the inside. Looking after myself for a change. Spirit and self as one working together for one life. 

Let's be the entertainers. In this image I projected myself hanging from a moss covered wall onto my jacket. My look is a little more mischievous in the background image so I overlaid the sillier image, trying to portray the other sides of me that people don't necessarily know, the fun in life. Or maybe the fact that I only get louder the longer you know me. 

Sabattier

Peering around a pole. The texture of the pole and the difference between me and the pole two objects standing right next to each other. I liked the thought, that two objects can be so different and yet compliment each other and work together to bring one image together. 

I really love this image in any aspect. As a Sabattier makes my face accented, my hair fades into the basket. My facial expression seems more, innocent, in a way with my eyelashes and lips standing out on my face outlined in the white. I love this image because it surprised me with an image of myself, inside. 

Just sitting on the steps. I like this in sabattier because it makes the background mostly one color, the contrast of my coat, jeans, sleeve, shoes, and even my hair which accents the different colors with in it. It all just makes it pop a little more. Me in a world, it all comes down to me, what I do, who I want to be, and mostly what I do with the time given to me.
