For the first photo I used a self-timer of 10 seconds and I chose to photograph myself doing one of the things that I have spent countless hours doing, homework. I had the window in the background to show that it was nighttime and that I had been working through the night along with the lamp which I think creates and interesting effect on the photo. I did not want to show my entire body in the image and I think it worked best having part of my face with my hand out writing to show how I was working on my work.. I think this photo is somewhat successful because it illustrates something that has been a very important part of my life so far, school.
