Final

I am almost unsure of showing this to you guys, but you're my friends. I trust you.
My photography final was a pretty deep one. I still have to write my "artist's statement," and it remains to be seen if I will fully explain myself in public.
Suffice it to say that we were supposed to illustrate our deepest fear.
I worked really hard on this. I mean, there were days of shooting and blending and editing and in the end, after four whole days of work, I scrapped it and went this direction instead.

Christy, WOW! I think this pictured turned out really great. You are talented :)

Christy said...

Hey Jen! Thank you so much :)

Mary said...

That's a beautiful picture.

Vulnerability and fear of vulnerability all in one lovely picture.

On a shallow note...I'm extremely jealous of your profile. Since I was a little girl I have always wanted my profile to be prettier and it's only gotten worse with time. You have a lovely chin and few people still look pretty with their eyes closed...but you do. Nice eyelashes.

I think it is so vulnerable and revealing. It is like heart nudity art. You are brave my dear.

Christy said...

Well, Mary - first of all, thanks. Secondly, did you notice that you don't see my nose? Yeah. I always wanted a prettier profile too.

Wow - you have a great talent...

Amy Button said...

Fantastic!!! Ok, I didn't notice your lack of nose but it's brilliant camouflage. Not that you need camouflage...

Leslie said...

Gorgeous!! How were the other class members' photos? Yours was surely one of the best! ☺

Christy said...

Hey Leslie! I've missed you!
Thanks so much :)
There were actually some really cool photos - fear of addiction illustrated by pill bottles, fear of needles - a picture with harsh lighting of a guy with needles sticking out of his mouth...
it was a really deep, really cool assignment. Wish you could've been there!
