My focus in all my photos was to do something new, which I successfully executed. This meant I had to reach outside my comfort zone a multitude of times to produce the work I wanted. This involved things like expressing myself more and using new equipment. I really wanted to focus on storytelling and different narratives in my photographs, however I wanted to do it in a more abstract way. To convey my concept and tell narratives in the photo essay deep travels I developed a more abstract sense of thinking. I took a lot of what I learned in this project and utilized it in my photo essay Self Revel. I struggled with deciding how to express myself in this project, but then I figured I would much rather speak to something that I have great care about. That would be, how the world consumes us and we are overtaken by such simple things. Water, was my way of doing this, the sense that there is a calmness yet overtaking power of water that consumes us. Usually we look at water and don’t think much but it has great power and like all things if you let it through your mind and spirit it will take over you. These photos are to show vulnerability of the human self to a mundane substance that is apart of us and surrounds our daily lives.
