Summer Project

Hi, I'm Sam. This is my first blog post! It feels like some sort of birthday, I need a candle... oh, there's one in the photo - excellent. The summer project that was given to me was to create a photo of myself, without me being in it. So this photo is of me, or maybe about me - but I do have fiery hair. The candle at the centre actually signifies my beliefs, as I am a very spiritual person, and that needed to be shown. My camera and phone represent what I "eat" up my time with - that being technology. I am a tech fanatic through and through, but individually, the camera is an obvious way to show my passion for picture perfect photos or moments. The phone shows my desire (HTC Desire, actually) of socialising with many of my friends across social networks, through texts, and calls too.

There is one place  set up at the table - I am an independent person, I appreciate time alone amongst socialising. The wine glass and formal dining is to present me as a person with class, high morals, even. If you believe the analogy can extend that far. There is water in the wine glass to signify that I try to have a pure heart. Successful or not, the effort is there undeniably. The reflection in the water does also portray my reflective nature. The warm subtle colours are to signify my overall personality, with the candle being the light in my life as a source of that - which also brings us full circle. Talking of circles, the circular table was specifically used to show no higher ground between those who seat at it, it is non-hierarchial - which is how I see myself with others. The plate too, has a cross-hatch pattern. I just did that for a laugh. That's me!
