Starting with this piece, I already kind of knew the direction I wanted to go in, but I needed to find an image that I could use to present it. Thus, searching Google, I came upon this water drop picture in which the world resided in the water drop. I thought this was perfect for what I wanted to show. Therefore, using this image I put a picture of my girlfriend and myself in the world. I feel this is significant because she is a big part of my life and thought it would be appropriate to incorporate her in my self-portrait. From there, I wanted to include my passion in life, which is photography. So, I took a picture of my Canon lens and blended it into the picture to give it the presence of being under the water. Finally, I figured that the piece needed one final touch and took a picture of my hand to incorporate and act like I was holding the water drop of the world. I feel that the image as a whole is symbolic in that I hold my life in my hand and have control over my destiny. I consider the puddle to be my life so far, depicting photography as my most resent passion, and my hand adding another segment into the puddle of my life dealing with my most important relationship and love of my life.
