My photo represents the the emotional block I put up between myself and the world. A stiff hand shows that a person knows what they're doing and is confident in their decision. The "X" in my arms are shaking, showing that I don't always know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, or how it's going to affect me. My hair is back, and I'm standing in front of a book case with books that are mostly not in my language. Those two things show metaphorically how even though I might put my hair back and really try at something, I'll still see spanish on the page. I don't always get things immediately, and sometimes have to stare at things awhile until the words translate into my language.
Trial and Errors: This photo is taken by Nina on a film camera, and when I first was working with it, the resolution was too small. I had to rescan it hoping I wouldn't have to retake the picture. The second scan, I guess, was good enough and that's the one I'm using. Also at first there was a galaxy image layered in the background. I took that out though; I didn't want to clutter my image or for my ideas to get muddled. I also had no idea how to use photoshop, only faint memories of Kenny Kilfara teaching us in class. With the help of Lena, I was able to do everything I needed to on photoshop.
