Artist Statement

Artist Statement Continued My work has become better over time. I went to the wolf school for middle school. The wolf school is a middle school. No when I came to this school, that was when I first took photography. I use a Pentax n1 camera with a built-in flash. I use a 30mm camera with a flash with speed 400 film and I generally take photos inside instead of outside. I haven’t received any awards or scholarships. I feel greatly influenced by Boogie and Sally Mann for my photography. Photography for me means take pictures to remember what fun I had when I was younger. Photography by me is sometimes slightly unfocused, medium sized, and always black and white.

Influences I think I was influenced by boogie’s work to take pictures of my twin brother holding Nerf guns aimed at the camera unloaded. (It was the best we could do as a teenagers) I decided to take this class because I wanted to be able to take something on Tuesdays that wasn’t too hard and yet at the same time not too easy for me to do.

Equipment and style I use a Pentax SF1 with a Sigma auto zoom to take 30mm photos of just about anything I feel like taking a photo of. I generally don’t have a lot of inspiration to take photos with so I rely on my imagination to take photos and then when I make them into the actual pictures themselves it doesn’t always go as planned.

My Bedroom I chose this picture because it was the first picture of mine to be digitalized into the computer.
