This is all about you. Reflect on a personal photograph or series (up to 3) of related photographs representing a single event i
n your life. Write three possible thematic statements that convey the message these photographs send about you. I know this has to be personal but I don't have any picture that are personal to me without getting too sad and personal so id rather use someone else cause my teacher doesn't know me ahaha.
The photograph I am reflecting on today is a photograph from May 2020. I was 16 years old at the time, and me and my dad were riding jet skies on the river by our house. It was two months into quarantine, and we just wanted to get out of the house. We were riding through a No Wake zone, where you have to go really slow so the waves do not damage docked boats, and my dad snapped a picture of me. I was smiling from ear to ear. It was a real, genuine smile. It's a little ironic because I looked so happy, but in reality, I was going through the toughest time of my mere 16 years of life. I was suicidal, extremely depressed, and barely able to get out of bed. This photograph teaches me that 1) it is extremely easy to fake a smile, and to NEVER judge a book by it's cover, and 2) that things DO get better with time.
I found an old photograph where I was drawing a picture. The person who took the photo was my dad, and I (the little artist) was drawing characters. Iv been drawing ever since i can remember. I loved it then i love art now. The photo was taken when i was eight years old and i asked my dad about that day because i couldn't remember what i was doing. He told me it was a project i had been working on for weeks, and that he practically had to drag me away to get me to take a break. To this day that is something that happens, if i have a project I do my best to finish it. This tells me that i can be determined as a person and that i can be creative.
The reason why they put numbers on a thermometer is because the number indicates the temperature. The reason why they put marks is to show that the thermometer has liquid on the.
