Project 5

For this project I choose the photograph collaborative projects because photography is an important part of my artistic life. Photographs are important to people in general and I enjoyed looking through old (and new) photographs.

Collected Visions project: http://cvisions.nyu.edu/mantle/info.html

This is the first day that we got our first family dog, Jessie.  She lived for 12 years and died in 2013 we miss her 
everyday and this picture brings back memories of when we first got her.

Originally I was going to use a photo of my parents getting married but then I wasn't sure if they would appreciate it if I posted a photo of them on the internet like that so I chose this photograph instead.

 Young Me/Now Me project: http://www.zefrank.com/youngmenowme/




I chose this project because I've seen these around and I've always wanted to do it. I think it's a good idea and portrays how much a person grows and at the same time how they still stay the same.  I went through a lot of pictures and I always thought, "I still make that expression in pictures today."  And yes I did eat that "Silly Sandwich".

Again I chose to do this one because I always saw these around the internet and loved the concept.  I chose my dog again because I thought it was a good picture to use to show how much has changed in just my backyard.  Besides the fact that my dog is now gone we have changed the wood paneling in the back to rock, and the grass and the swing set is long gone.

Part two:

Another thing that is important to me is writing.  My idea is writing books collaboratively and then printing them out and sending them to the writers. For me one of my dreams is to write a book and I think this could help people that have the same dream.  It might not be an actual published book but it might help them hone their skills and get a chance to work with another writer.
