Josie 4 - Self portraits

Self Portraits

The first and last self portraits are simply me climbing trees. The middle portrait is a new addition to an old collection of transformation photos where I turn myself into family members, in this case my dad. All photos were taken from my phone as my dslr lens is broken right now.

Home

This is a picture of inside my garage, taken through the window. A lot of things in my childhood home, which is where I currently live, is run down or broken, and I thought it was interesting, especially since I took pictures of the outside in an earlier post.

My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...

roommates mariah and I worked on portraits which is not something in my comfort zone

And it stoned me

A recent journal entry: "Today a friend asked me to think about my goals for the next twenty years. The thought stoned me. It's frightening to think that far in advance, and I'm not sure I want to. At time it is difficult to see past tomorrow or the day after that." "...The thought of the future takes my breath away. I like keeping my feet on the ground here in the present just concentrating on the task at hand while keeping an eye on what tomorrow may bring." Suggested listening: Van Morrison "And It Stoned Me"
