Class Week 4: Thematic & Conceptual Shooting PLUS a Self Portrait

For the last few weeks we've been challenged by our wonderful teacher to approach our photography as "photo essays" (a series of photos that tell the story.) This week, we were told to focus on telling a story in a single image! This was way harder then what it may sound like. So I decided to tell the story of mine and my husbands life at the moment:

We are building our first house right now where we put "sweat equity" into our home before we live in it. Not only are we building out our house but we are also building 4 additional homes with our neighbors. We are required to put in 35 hours a week at minimal. We usually are very tired, worn out, and sometimes make mistakes.

And last but not least with this amazing class, we have to learn to get out from behind the camera and capture ourselves at different stages in our lives. So here I am in all my 22 year old glory; loving every minute of it (even the very tiring moments)
