Reflecting on a 2012 Blog

           Throughout the first part of the school year in 2012, my blog posts have improved it's grammar, vocabulary, and composition. The blog that is my personal favorite is "About Me..." due to the connection shown between my photography and my personality. The blog, which I wrote at the beginning of the school year, became one of my favorites after adding several images to the blog. 


                                  [One of my personal favorite photographs that I have taken]

              This photo has been one of my favorites because of the message that it sends to me whenever I look at it, which is my childhood story. Growing up in a suburb outside of Washington D.C, my life was surrounded by sports. One of the biggest sports in my family growing up was baseball. Everyday leading up to Sunday morning games were long, tiring, nighttime practices. As the sun went down, so did the northeastern temperature. Running to my fathers jeep to escape the cold air was always my favorite time of the night. This picture brings back memories of watching the sun set through the metal fence and glaring, with amusement, at the shadows caused by the field lights. The hat that is being worn in this photo also brings back memories of the night I found it laying on the wooden dugout bench.
         While growing up is exciting and memories quickly vanish, it is important to have photographs that can magically remind you of a time that has passed. As stated in my "About Me..." blog, my photographs all have a meaning to me in one way or another. They either remind me of a past experience or an experience which I'm living in today. But in my opinion, the best picture I'll take will be the one I take tomorrow.
