Picture Fall | Day 2

Today’s assignment was to photograph a place where you feel most comfortable and “at home with yourself.” I don’t think this picture accomplishes that at all, although it is the most comfortable chair in the house, and I do like a nice cup of tea to relax. If I had been able to get there […]

Picture Fall | Day 1

Today was Day 1 of the online photography workshop I am taking, “Picture Fall.” The assignment: photograph a fallen leaf. I was working from home and it was pouring out most of the day, but I managed to take a quick break while heating up my lunch and snap some photos outside on my front

I yearned to be gorgeous and thin and popular… My anxiety about my appearance sometimes kept me from doing the things I really wanted to do, like auditioning for
