I set up my first still life's with stones that I have from my rock collection. I had stones from all over and carefully chose 7 of them that I thought were the most unique and beautiful. I also had two marbles that I thought could represent two "people" in most of my still life's and act as eyes in the other. The still life represents how barriers could get in the way but you have to overcome them to get to what you want. It is important for me to document through photography because if I don't take any pictures I will usually forget what it meant to me or what happened that made me so happy at the time. I wouldn't be able to look back to all the times where I was fooling around or we went somewhere amazing and beautiful, they would just become distant memories that I wouldn't be able to remember.
