This assignment really caught my eye, I thought it was a great idea! As I sat and thought about where I have been, the picture of my cousin and myself popped into my head. Sara had to do a project of someone who was special to her in one of her classes, she chose me. We went to a place by the Erie Canal, in our small town, and had my mom take pictures of us. This particular picture is of us holding hands walking down a long road, signifying us taking this path of life together, and then when the road ends we would find our own way. Ever since we were little kids, we were tied at the hip, did everything together; she was my hero. Going back to that one spot today, made me realized how much life interferes with relationships such as this one. I went back to that same place and it was the same but different, the life was dead. That doesn’t symbolize our relationship because we will always have a bond that no one will understand, however maybe us growing up was just a part of life, and we were meant to go down two separate roads, who knows. I still love her to the moon and back, and as our song says, she will always Stand By Me.

There wasn’t exactly a process to this, I framed the original picture, took it with me to that long road to life, stuck it out as long as my arms could reach, and snapped the shot. Life to death, death to life.
