"Of all the goodbyes, the kind which hurts the most is the one your ears never heard but your heart knows it is already being said."

By this time, it was October 8th 2011, and a lot had been going on in my life. My relationships were up in shambles with people who i used to deem important to my life. I was disappointed by someone i had really grown to trust, and i was starting to find self portraits as a comforting way of dealing with that pain. Being publicly attack by this individual and my supposed best friend being nowhere to be found, this shoot was my way of saying that i was ridding my life of negativity, people who only brought me down, and people who truly had no right to be in it. The empty picture frame was a frame hung in my room that had held a picture of me and the main person causing all of my grief. I wanted it to make the statement that as hard as it had previously been for me to accept and let that person go, that i had no problem saying goodbye now, and i wanted nothing more then to have them out of my life. In addition, i had wanted to incorporate the sense of my concentration in fashion photography, which ultimately led to the dress(a success after hitting up the salvation army and them being open this time). Overall, this shoot was a success emotionally, and i liked that i was able to continue to play with crossproccess editing and give the shoot a "Alice in Wonderland" like vibe as many viewers pointed out to me.
