In-Camera Collage:
Collage brings together two or more items that were previously separate. The resulting piece usually visually references the fact that they were once separate entities. Imagine an important place in your past. Imagine an important place in your present. Imagine who you were in both of these past and present places. Describe how you might use a slow shutter speed and/or double exposure to capture two moments in one image that tell a new narrative about these important places and how they relate to who you are and were.
I think one of the biggest, most important changes I have made was probably through my advancement of my own education. I have said before that it would be interesting to recreate an old image from myself in elementary school, but I think the contrast between how much I have changed since high school has been major. When I was in middle school, I still had the dream of studying art and becoming an artist. Once I hit high school, I dropped my dream because I was scared of pursuing it. I even started out at MSU with a science major, but after a year, I went back to art because I missed it so much. I am still unsure of my future, but I am much more confident in it than from what I was then. I think it would be nice to shoot myself in front of my high school, dressed in the clothes I wore then, and then shoot me again in front of Kresge, but wearing the things that I normally do. I am much more sure of myself and my abilities than the past, and I am happy for that.
