FINAL

My project is a combination of pictures of me! Just kidding. Seriously though, it's a bunch of pictures of me... as my family. The idea came about from a project where I photographed myself as my brother. I thought it'd be fun to do everyone. The idea expanded and each image you whoever I am as the world sees them on the left and then them as I see them on the right. Enjoy. :)






















Just a little backstory.. My dad's parents are divorced, so I have three grandpas. :)
1. Grandpa Jiron. My dad's dad. He smokes a lot and he loves to talk about himself. He is macho and thinks men are better than women.
2. Ed. My dad's mom's husband. He too thinks he is the best. I personally think he is one of the most boring people I have met.
3. Grandpa Adair. My mom's dad. He is the kindest person you'll ever meet. He loves telling stories!
4. Mom. My mom always tells me what to do and if I don't do it her way it is wrong and she'll never get over it. She has had to endure a lot of stuff because of my big sister, so she has become meaner over the years..
5. Dad. He is just tired. After my sister moved back in things started to fall apart and it caused so much tension in the house it was just too tiring. Now it is hard for him to do anything because of how mentally and physically tired out. He also just had hernia surgery and is still recovering from that.
6. Me. I try to put on a happy go lucky facade, but really I am so awkward and I always feel like I'm not going to please those around and I constantly worry about it.
7. Vincent. This is my wonderful fiancee. He is pretty much just him. He thinks you shouldn't hide who you are. He is my superman. And I'm not just poking fun at the shirts he wears. He saved me and continues to do so. Including me freaking out about finals..
8. Loura. It's a very long story, but she is essentially the one to blame.. I love my sister.. sometimes, but she is the reason I moved out, the reason for my other sister's anxiety etc..
9. Virginia. She is all playful on the outside but she really has some insane anxiety over Loura's kids and the situation Connor (Loura's 3 yr old) is in.
10. Jesse. To end on a fun note.. kinda. My brother has no worries in the world. He just goes on doing nothing but work and play video games. He is hidden not only because I never see him even when I'm at my parents, but an inside joke from our childhood.
