Project 1

This image is a behind selfie that I had taken at the Wonderstruck concert in Lakeland Ohio. Summer is important to myself because my hair color is an important part of my identity, and going to this concert I was able to see many artists that I love. I edited this image to make myself brighter and the background a bit fuzzy so that myself is the focal point of the image.

This image is a face selfie taken in Arizona. I got to go on this trip with the Wooster Volleyball team, which was a fantastic experience. We visited the Grand Canyon at sunrise. To me, this image represents my identity as a college student and athlete who has had the opportunity to visit amazing places with my friends.

The last image is a faceless selfie of my volleyball gear. This image represents my identity of a volleyball player. From practices to lifts to games, I spend a lot of time in this locker room and it has shaped me in many ways and taught me many lessons and skills. As a senior this year, I try to take moments like this to look back and be thankful for the journey volleyball as led me on and the people I’ve met along the way.

  1. I enjoyed your pictures, particularly the first one. Both your tattoo and hair color caught my attention; they blend perfectly with the overall vibe of the picture. And your passion for volleyball shows your patience, resistance, and many other skills since it is not an easy sport to play or learn.

  2. I liked the second selfie of the grand canyon. Shows how beautiful the scenery is and the smile fits well to the theme of the photo. I also liked liked the volleyball selfie. It shows that you are ready to play and also because volleyball is one of my favorite sports as well.
