This is my first self portrait. I absolutely love water. I've been swimming like my whole life, and in May I'm always the first one in my aunt's pool even though the water is only like 40 degrees. That's why I wanted to take a photo while in water. In this photo I darkened the water and made it more blue. I also added a filter, don't remember which one, but it made the water look way sweet.
Over the weekend I went to Iowa for my cousin's graduation party. While I was there I realized that have probably spent half of my life in Iowa. This is because my mom is from Iowa and like all of my family lives there. So I thought about creating a photo that incorporates some of the things I think of when I see the word Iowa. I overlapped some pictures to create one photo. In the corner there is a photo of me and my cousin Mallory, my grandma is in the picture, and so is my mom. There is also a sign that says Feeney because that is my mother's maiden name, and the last name of most of my cousins.
Ok so this was not my original picture. I had an edited photo of me in front of the Welcome to Wisconsin sign that you see when coming back from Iowa, but it was deleted so I created this picture in like 2 minutes before it was due. Maybe I'll put my other picture up if I make it again.
So I picked this photo because it is a picture of me and my best friend Katie. She is a big part of my life, and I would not be the same person I am today if she wasn't my buddy.
:D
