Pictures from my first and second birthdays at my Tia Berta's house. I love these. I love how styley my mom looks. Love the lavendar dress she is wearing in the second photo. Love how I am entranced my balloons in the first and so shy in the second.
In my college photo classes I remember talking about about how there are always at least two people when it comes to any photo. There is the person taking the photo and you the viewer. So even when you are viewing Ansel Adam's photos of mountains with no people, there's you and there's Ansel. And even if you don't love mountains, Ansel Adams love mountains so much, that by viewing his work, you love them to in that moment of viewing. Okay, that last part about loving mountains,now I am pretty sure I am paraphrasing something I heard Jesh De Rox say when I went to a workshop of his.
So I am wondering who the unseen person is in these photos. I am hoping it's my dad. I will have to ask my mom if it was my dad.
Anyways, Happy Birthday to me! February 24th, I arrived a month early I've been told.
