The Day in the Life of Renae.
My life is a bipolar roller coaster, and I choose to accept my emotions whether they good or bad.

Self-portrait Project.
This was probably the hardest project for me to do. It is a lot more difficult than taking a facebook profile photo. Some of my photos didn't even turn out; some because I was figuring out my timer and others because the sun was to bright for my aperture setting. The last three were the hardest to express. I was having a really hard day and I just wanted to rip my hair out, so therefore that's exactly what I did. The first three in the second row I got a little personal and decided to express it through a photo. It was hard to get the right lighting so you could see the dark under and around my eyes, but I felt the message through in the photos.

Person Portrait Project.

I found that taking pictures of people is a lot harder than it sounds. You don't want them to just sit there and pose,you want capture something real,and emotion. My mom didn't want her picture taken at all. She was a hard subject. (Picture 1) I think perfectly reflects my mom because she looks irritated and about to burst, which is how she normally looks. She was in the midst of yelling at my sister and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to capture the "real her.

My sister however was a little easier in some ways but all she wanted to do was "look pretty." I just told her to walk around the yard and sing a song to herself, and then came Picture 2(she was whistling). Picture 3 she had been sent to sit on the steps for "time out" and was pouting and as a kid that's how you spend half of your time so it caught her "child-ness" perfectly.
