SELECTED IMAGE FOR GALLERY SHOWING ABOVE – FULL ROLL BELOW
ABOUT THE SELECTED IMAGE: When I set out to do this project, I started taking pictures of things I saw around me on a regular basis. I noticed that as I looked through the viewfinder at these everyday, mundane things (the house across the street, the building outside my studio window), they were transformed into something “worthy” of a picture. However, I found that I had a strong desire to “decorate” what I saw through the viewfinder. This is my normal mode of operation, and so it seemed only natural to start including frilly paper and cutouts in the pictures. I chose this particular picture because one of the first things I think of when I think of Galveston is (of course) the beach. But it’s also something that I forget to appreciate as I drive by it every day.
