#11 I am surrounded by my friends in the middle of the night, in my granny's house. We are eating dinner that my mom made for us. It's the second time I go back from MSU to my home during and it was this past winter break. We are using this white plastic tables and white plastic chairs, eating and having a good time. The conversation goes around us having fun and us catching up. The weather is sorta cold since we are in the outside, however it's a port, so it's really not that cold (70-80 F) We are iluminated by some yellow bulbs and some of my friends are smoking, the ambient is nice and I couldn't feel more happier among those dudes.
#12 The photo that I remember the most is the one of my dog. Is my dog in front of the window, with his paws on it, trying to reach outside. It's a little bit overexposed, so you can't really tell much on the outside other than a couple of trees and the metal bars for the window. The picture is dramatic and has this sense of "inside" and "outisde" considering also that the personality of my dog is hyperactive and having him quiet and calm for a photo is an achievement by itself.
#13 I took a picture once of a playground near my house. Problem was that the playground was constructed in the middle of a green area so the plants usually outgrow the place and stuck on some part or made some of the structures unusable, like the slide, which was dominated by a weed that grew all over it and made impossible to climb it without hurting the plant. Also the the tear and wear of the use was evident and there was no way of actually reparing it.
For me, it was amazing to see how the nature was retaking what was rightfully hers and how we as humans forget about this. I do not know the actual state of the place, but I am certain is not nice.
#14 A familiar place: My home. My place. My room. Maybe even my clothing and my underwear, that's kind of the thing that is around me everyday.
An unfamiliar place: the inside of other's bags. My own insides. The insides of my computer or the insides of my camera. These are unfamiliar places, places that I haven't been gone to.
#15 I would use to take two portraits of the same photo: Me now and overlaid a photo of me when I was ten, or try to emulate and recreate a photo from the past. There is one particular photo that I like where I am lying naked on the bed as a kid. (I do not know what is the obsession of parents and naked kids... ) but I like it because it reflects so much innocence on it and I'll try to recreate that. I have also a pic of myself on a photostudio when I was so little, I might as well take a new photo of me inside a photostudio with lights, to show how that baby from the past has grown into this artist now.
