Sometimes on the internet you come across something so subtle in its beautiful hope and freedom. And yet totally awkward and adolescent. Hence:
Senior Portraits
This reminds me of that dear time when you actually believed that a picture could express your true nature so that everybody at school would see the real you.
Whether its feeling so naturally in touch with water that you'll crawl into it in your clothes, or so in love with track that you'll sprawl across it like a Broadway star, these pictures capture the essence of insecurity in its subtlest fashion. I love them.
Remember when you were not embarrassed to pose in arabesque in a grassy knoll just to express how joyfully you will take on the world, at the same time as you remind people that you've had 8 years of dance at Maria Escalante Studios?
Remember when you were proud of medals? Medals.
Remember when you saw yourself as a wandering spirit, having just read On the Road, so you chose the traintracks as a setting for your story? The start of a journey.
Remember your violin? Or your horse? Sigh.

I just took my cousin's senior pictures and due to lack of creativity made her do very ridiculous things like jump in and out of the lake (at our cabin), ride around on a pink huffy (while using black and white film), as well as have her "hold" a canoe over her head while our two uncles held the ends and I took a picture of the middle to make it look like she was doing it by herself. I have pathetically contributed to the "look at me as I really am!" senioritis.
