Final - One in a Million

Self Portraits

This image represents my favorite place in the world - up north. We used to take family trips there every summer. Right next door to my uncles' cabin, there is a house that was burnt down years ago, all that is left is the basement cement walls and some old wood boards, then there is a shack next to it, and across the street is the garage. The year on the license plate is 1992. My cousins and I always go hang out in the shack and go look around the garage so I took this picture to represent that.

For this image, I took one picture of me looking into a mirror, and one of my sister and put them together. It was kind of difficult because I had to take away the reflection of my hand. This picture represents how important my sister is to me. She has been here for me forever and there are so many things that we see in each other that nobody else sees.

This picture represents last summer when my mom almost had breast cancer. It was the hardest time of my life. I wanted to be able to do something, but all we could do was sit and wait for the results to come back. Thankfully, they all came back negative but never the less, it was the scariest moment of my life. We are so lucky to have a healthy family and even more lucky that I had so many friends by my side to comfort me and say everything is going to be alright.

Lyrics

Model: VictoriaRusted Root – Ecstasy
Wasted arms, wasted legs
Wrapped around this machine

Josh Ritter – Change of Time
I had a dream last night
I dreamt that I was swimming
And the stars up above
Directionless and drifting
Somewhere in the dark
Were the sirens and the thunder
And around me as I swam
The drifters who'd gone under
