The first part of my post is mostly just random pictures that I took of random things.

Black and white:
For all these pictures I was really just having some fun with my camera and experimenting with photoshop. I decided that I would try out some black and white because black and white photos make me really mad... so they are over dramatic a little bit, but that's honestly the only way I can really stand them.
For the second half I did the idiom part of the photography project.

This website was the only inspiration I had besides Twitchell himself,
And... I honestly took them all really literally.
Idiom: Pig Out :
To eat alot and eat it quickly.
Idiom: Spitting Image:
The exact likeness or kind.
Idiom: Curiosity Killed The Cat:
Being Inquisitive can lead you into a dangerous situation.
During this week of taking pictures I learned a lot about my photography and where I want to go. Although, lately because of how emotional I am... taking pictures is really hard for me, but I think I can focus that energy into the pictures that I take in the next few weeks to come. I bet you guys are going to be seeing a lot of depressing photos, it'll be fun to watch my mood through my work.

The great thing about photography is that it is an art, and the arts can help us work through things. Just like painting or drawing or dancing or playing music, the type of art that you create really can help you come to terms with your thoughts/feelings and can help you safely work through them.
ReplyDeleteSearch out other photographers whose work deals with emotions. Take a look at the work of Cindy Sherman- she created images that are meant to look like stills from movies, but showed how women were portrayed in the films, really getting to the gut feeling of these issues.
Self-portraits is another way to work through things-

Most all artists at one point or another create self-portraits. How do you see yourself? How do you want people to see you? Are they the same? Create a series of self-portraits- how you see yourself, how your parents see you, how fellow students see you, how you want to be seen, what you want to be in the future, where would you have been in 10 years if something didn't change? You could go on and on. You are strong and I know that you will get through it all.
