Portrait: Honorable Mention 2014 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
"Conversations with Self" is a portrait of my best friend Antoinette. The significance of this photo is that Antoinette is sitting next to her younger self. A young girl, who either has a passion to play the guitar or a bored child forced to take on an after-school hobby. This image makes the viewer compare and contrast the two that sit side by side on a park bench in Brooklyn, NY. Something about Anotionette's eyes that bring a somber undertone to this image.
