Expression of myself  assignment is not as easy as you think because you gotta dig down deep.

First of all, there’s one picture on top of the the background. This represents just how far I have grown in my college years.  I am on a track I never thought I would be on and have made some amazing friends who have helped me along the way…so it’s like a new me.  Next, the background is me taking a picture.  I love photography, editing photos, and experimenting with shooting different scenes like an hdr of Fredericksburg at night or motion of the Rappahannock river.

[Also, I love Piknik! I’ve never used it before, but there are so many possibilities.]

Next we have the music notes in my head because..well, I’m a music major so I’m usually in the process of analyzing or writing something.  They are also there because I hear music all the time, anywhere; the metro fueling up or keys typing, it doesn’t matter-I want to write a piece with it.

There is a faint earth overlaying the background and that goes along with two concepts. I just got back from Italy and I have to go back-I did a lot of “wander”ing there and met so many amazing people from around the world. I could live there. The tears also have to do with the earth because there are so many people in third world countries who do not have the means to support themselves or the opportunity leave and I’d like to try and help them somehow.

Finally, we have the puzzle pieces which separates the enitre image.  I am a work in progress and still trying to figure out who I am and what the next steps after school are.
