For my three final photos, I would be submitting, I wanted each image to fit the different ideas I had to represent Becca’s identity. Above is my first image—I took the image while Becca was fixing her scarf between shots. As I mentioned in the previous blog, Becca brought a few scarfs in her travels.… Read More Three Times the Charm

However after developing the photos, I learned that my negatives for Rome didn’t show on the neg… Read More Almost The End
For my second film, I took a camera along with me during an overnight weekend trip to Dublin, Ireland. Putting the film into the camera without any help was very nerve recking and I wasn’t sure if I did it correctly. I enjoyed taking photos once again and took my time. After developing the film,… Read More New Found Love
