| The rest of my body is red and flowing with life, but the second the knife touches my arm the color fades and the depression sets in. You will start with your arm but sometimes you cant stop until everything is grey. |

| You are warned as a kid secrets don't make friends. But what they don't tell you is that if you stay quiet and keep them is how you don't lose friends. Is the pressure of rotting your mind worth a source providing it. |

| Teenage tired eyes. No make up. No filter. The real me up close. |

How teenage girls are treated. What if what we heard or what we were called showed up on our face? "ugly,slut,dumb,stupid,whore,shut up, fat, and gross"

It started when my dad had bought me a camera about 2 years ago. I decided to join photography to really learn how to use it. I would take pictures for fun of course. Photo class is more interesting because you are taking that extra step. To learn how to photoshop and actually post your work. I learned from this experience that photography comes with patience and you. Your thoughts,abilities, how much effort you're actually willing to put in. A challenge for me was defiantly the patience I am not a very patient person. I also struggle with remember every step to each photoshop task. My favorite work is the infrared, light streak, and these pictures. I would want to redo the cloning project because next time I would create a story. Like a multiple personality disorder something like that. In this project I used things like duct tape to show that your mouth is not there, a paper bag because when you cry the bag gets wet but the smile is still there, big X on both of my eyes as if they were gouged out. When someone looks at my project I want them to not only be learning about me in my personal darkest times but for them to learn something about themselves. My pictures, while creating them, made me take a lot of things into consideration. Most of all my pictures were real, problems that exist, and for age group to understand. I would tell a new student to photography 1 to pay more attention and that you might surprise yourself, let yourself fall into ideas.
