Self Portrait

    In this photo, there is makeup, car keys, money, hair accessories jewelery, all in an unorganized manner on top of a dresser. There are a lot of different colors and altogether a lot going on in the photograph. If you look near the top of the photo, you can also notice that there is a mirror. All of the objects in this photo seem to be components to starting off they day. Some objects are crucial to get through the day; some of the other objects are more of a luxury.
   This pictures depicts a positive mood. Although it appears to be unorganized, the colors give it an exciting aura. Even though nothing in this picture seems to have great value, to me a lot of the objects in this photo mean a lot to me. I love doing makeup, therefore, the makeup in the picture is very important to me. I spend a lot of time in this particular location every morning; it's my own personal space, like a desk in an office. Some components in this picture represent hard work, such as the money and the car keys. On the car keys there is a ShopRite card; the place where I work. If I didn't have that job, I wouldn't have those car keys, or probably not even loose change like the ten dollars seen in the photo. This photo can tell someone a lot about my personality; it shows that I care about they way I look, but I'm also a somewhat carefree person in the sense that things don't always have to be perfect.

  1. Anna,

    Great self portrait! I like the way you combined these very personal items because they reflect a lot about you and reveal so much in terms of who you are. The car keys and the money and ShopRite tag are excellent visuals that speak to the viewer about the person who sits at this vanity in the morning.
