Double Exposure
Snapshot of my Life
My selfie collage is conveying some of my favorite things to do and a snapshot of my life. The background it a photo of a sunset on Lake Michigan, a place that I visit with my family a lot. The shoes in the collage are my running spikes that I run cross country and track races in. The map and the books in the background represent my interests in hiking and reading. The cat in the foreground is my cat, Candy. I've had her for 10 years since she showed up on my porch as a stray. For all of the images except my selfie and the background I reduced the opacity so that they were slightly transparent. I used the lasso and the eraser to cut out my selfie, my spikes and my cat. I also used the blur tool in some of the transitions between layers. It depicts pictures of some of my favorite things and daily life, which is why I titled it, Snapshot of my Life.
