Scanned Face

Self Portraits

I like that my self portraits are of just me with a white blanket in the background. I wanted to focus in on just me, no distractions, and see what happens when I set the camera in front of myself while getting ready one morning. I discovered that I just liked being silly and preferred those pictures over the ones of me smiling. I guess I just wanted to make myself and others laugh when they saw the pictures rather than just see another picture of some girl smiling.

1. Portraits

 This is my dad, David Simmons, one morning. It was fun to take these pictures illustrating his normal morning routine such as reading the paper, looking through messages on his phone, cleaning out his cereal bowl, killing spiders and helping out my mom.

Alphabet Quote

The quote I chose for this project is "Sing loud, even if badly". I really like it because it encourages you to be yourself and not care about what others think of you.
