Self




A self portrait. How does one define self anyway? I've been struggling with this project for ages... it was due two weeks ago, and i just re-shot again tonight. For critique I turned in this collage of dance snapshots over a staff and a dance shoe, along with some really bright colors. I hated it. I mean it's cool enough to hang up in my room (then again my room is completely bare, and in much need of a facelift), but other than that, I really don't want it hanging in the cases in the hallway. So I shot this instead. I like the concept way better. And I like the fact that it's actually a statement on how I'm feeling about myself. For the most part I know I'm a photographer, and a dancer, but the rest of the time... I'm not quite sure what I am, or who I am. But I know that eventually I'll figure out who that person is...

hey connie,
just came by to see your work and I really like it! Really creative stuff. It was fun to meet you in the NJ airport and not get shot... well I guess I did with your laptop but no one gets arrested for that.
It was cool to meet you and talk to you and I hope the rest of your trip went well...
