Pathway to Paychecks

in Photo 2 we went to Sacramento City College to go to an event called pathway to paychecks and we took pictures of models and this was my favorite model to take pictures of and my favorite picture because he was cute even though he has two big pimples on his face

Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier was a very unique photographer of her time because she wasn't out there like other photographers and she liked to stay to herself and didn't want to put herself out there she was very strange from what i hear from people that know her. i think that if she would have put her photos out there she would've been a big shot and its crazy that she only became famous after she died and someone discovered her negatives. i feel like me and her connect because i don't like putting the pictures i have out there in fear of someone trying to steal them and i stay to myself a lot.

Urban San Francisco - Photo 3

Our last field trip in photo 3 we went to San Francisco to shoot urban photography i really enjoyed this field trip the most out of all the field trips i did in all of my photo classes because we didn't have to stay with the teacher and we got to do our own thing and got a lot of amazing pictures because we got to show the unique side of ourselves

Cemetery

Last Friday we went on a field trip to the cemetery in the rain to take pictures of graves and i had fun but it was weird because the grass was very wet and mushy and i was scared that something would come out the ground and get me

                     My Happy Place When I Want Everything To Go Away

When you are down and out do you have a happy place you go to when you want to just get away from the world. When I feel depressed I just close my eyes and act like I’m not apart of the world anymore because I have so many problems. When I go to this happy place I feel very peaceful and relaxed because no one bothers me in this world that I want to live. I love having this place because the life that I live in now isn’t easy because I have so many responsibilities as a 17 year old, I take care of my two year old niece because her Mom is almost never there for her when she needs her I’m practically her mom I do everything that a mom is supposed to do for her child.

In elementary and middle school I was bullied because of my weight and height I wasn’t a skinny girl I was chubby and tall. I tried to get help from people at school but no one believed because they thought I was strong because I was fat and tall. People called me names like hippo, fatty, dinosaur and many more names I would not like to speak of. My life got really bad in middle school when guys harassed me and girls used to jump me and pick on me no one wanted to help me I started to think about how the world will be if I wasn’t apart of it anymore so I started to cut myself everyday and wear long clothes to hide the cars of my pain. After I used to cut for so long it didn’t do anything but just numb me in March of 2012 was my first attempt to commit suicide as I was about to try and hang my mom walked in and saw the belt wrapped around my neck and she took me down and held me and cried and I started crying I felt stupid after that lie why would I want to leave this world and leave main person who cared about me behind.

My mom used to tell me about her past and what she went through and how she used to have the same thoughts when she used to be a drug addict. She used to tell me about how she felt when she got high and about what she used to do she told me about what she used to do to get her drugs she decided to get clean about 10 years ago but now she drinks alt and she gets abusive when she gets drunk and likes to go crazy and hit me and attack me with things.

Now you see why I go to my happy place
