Since January I have by letting myself make mistakes and not feeling bad if a photo I took is not perfect. And not quitting when things got hard in my life so I could have something to look forward to and still be able to come to class.

If I could travel back to the first day of CCC I would tell myself do not let negative things stop you from enjoying positive things.

I enjoyed taking pictures of landscapes and it surprised me because, I usually take up close pictures up close photos of smaller things and decided to try taking pictures of bigger backgrounds that made me want to take more.

My independent study is about self-expression. When I take pictures, I want them to have a meaning without words and by taking photos I get to express my creativity by letting the photos speak for me.

What I am trying to tell people about my photos are anything you see is a creative image and everyone does not see the same image. In my photos I like bold solid colors because I’m a bold person and I want my photos to reflect on me.

I still want to photograph people so I can develop a personal style and capture memories and live in the present with people I am around.
