Update

Hi all! For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to figure out where I want to go with my photography. After speaking with Greta last week I gained some good insight on how move forward, but it left me with some deep thinking to do on my end. Greta suggested that I look at my past series in photo classes to see if there is an overarching theme. Nature, kids, and death is what has been repeated. One series that I did (shortly after my mom passed away) centered on what we leave behind. From this series I had images with tree carvings, signatures and drawings on walls, dog tags, and letters.

I had a few ideas on what to shoot. The first was to just suck it up and expand on my series from last semester. Another was to capture the relationship between my dad and my son. This is really special to me because my dad stepped up to be the male figure in my sons life numerous times because my ex-husband was in and out of his life. My dad and son have a very special relationship that I just adore. The other idea I had centered on technology and kids and how it's addicting and takes them away from being out in nature.

After explaining my thoughts and ideas, Greta mentioned a possible overarching theme of how we leave our marks in the world. Parents/grandparents leave their marks on the younger generation, literal marks on trees and walls and there might be some tie into nature. I have been trying to figure out how to connect technology, nature and kids all together and what I am trying to say. 

So, yep, that's where I am at.
