Starting off my project of following someone around through there everyday lives, my first subject was my roommate Aaron Scafe. I started off the week following him around campus before he had set up a driving session with a friend so he could learn how to drive for the upcoming summer. It was a very scary and a nice moment as he finally hits the road with the everyday community of drivers, testing his skills, but yet terrifying because hes very new to driving which results in him not being use to turning corners, knowing the speed limit and having some close encounters of side swiping other cars, the moment that really cap it off was the opportunity to hit the free way (which I talked him out of) but either way it was a very good session for him.

Later that week he proceed to go to the field with other friend of his to enjoy the sun, this event involved going to the soccer field, watching the soccer players practice while enjoying a nice smoke and playing his ukulele. It was nice to get outside for a nice shoot of pictures while enjoying the sun, I also learned that it’s better for your subject to face the sun when taking pictures not turned the other way. Later that day he got a dramatic hair cut, which changed his appearance saying”It’s time to get rid of it”. Not really hesitant or thinking about it he just wanted all his hair cut off. I was shocked he just went with instinct instead of thinking over how this hair cut could effect him in the long run.

I ended my session with subject #1 Wednesday Apr 17th and moving on to Subject #2, Brandon Fortner, who I will continuing  shooting until next Friday.

As I am sitting at my kitchen table, I am observing one of my roommates eating habits. She made a sandwich consisting of salami, 2 fried eggs, pesto, cheese, cheese, and bacon. She chats with me idly about the previous nights events. It’s interesting how when humans eat they usually want to chat or fill the empty space with some sort of noise, like t.v., radio, or music. I wonder why people struggle to be alone while they are eating? A lot of people struggle being alone all the time, but I know a lot of instances where it is meals that really get people feeling down. Maybe it’s because it’s easy to deny the feeling of being alone until you are faced with only yourself and you can’t deny what is reality any longer. Maybe it is simply the fact that you have no one to share your meal with. Sometimes I purposely seclude myself from friends during meals so I can observe my own feelings during this time. Even though I thoroughly enjoy eating alone sometimes, I can feel myself becoming a little less enthused. When I was a teenager we had family dinners every day and I was never allowed to watch television while eating. When I was left to my own devices for dinner that was ALL I would do. There was no question, I would sit myself in front of the T.v. with a big late of microwave nachos, and I was in complete bliss. I think as you get older it is easy to be more receptive of being alone and maybe not have a choice about it.
