• What do you think is going on in this picture? What is the story? (try to keep it to one sentence)

• Now choose one of those elements of art. How does that element of art help create a principle of design in this photograph?

My Pictures Part 1

The two photographs I chose are important to me because they are of my family. 

Can you guess which one is me?

The first picture is of me with my sister. We live far away from each other now, so I cherish the memories I have of us being goofy kids together. I think my mom took this picture with a Polaroid camera. 

Dorian :-)

The second picture is of my dog, Dorian. We have had him since he was three years old and now he is 14! This picture is important to me because it shows him when he was a young whipper snapper! My boyfriend took this picture with his phone.
