Morris, dream job assignment
My dream photography job is photographing and creating visuals for my own writing. I have a lot of narrative and autobiographical writing, so this week I decided to do a series of self portraits that could pair with essays-- except I used a friend as a "me" proxy. I dressed her up in my clothes and did her makeup the way I usually do mine. I also shot some pictures of her with objects that I associate with my own writing and my life: a saxophone, which I play, a cat, representing a childhood pet. Somehow I ended up making a kind of narrative in which our identities merge in a slightly uneasy way.
