These next few are going to be part of my final from photography class. I’m not going to post them all because a few were “random, not very good, just printing them so I can have 9 pictures” pictures. I’ll only make you suffer through the decent ones.

About the final:
The Girl Behind the Smile
Everyone has one side they show to strangers. Everyone looks like crap in the morning. But we take a shower, comb our hair, and put on clean clothes. We brush our teeth and check ourselves in the mirror before going out into the world. Everyone has that one thing they don’t like about themselves. We have feelings, thoughts, emotions that we keep inside. But we smile and put on a show. We act like normal happy people. We don’t let anyone see that other side of us. We pretend to be perfect. But that’s ok, we’re only human.
This is a little bit of that other side of me.

About this picture:
This is the picture that started my final. Just a simple picture of me taken in my room using a desk lamp.
