My goal for this project was to express myself in the photos I took for my past. I took things that meant a lot to me when I was younger and photos of me and placed them in spots that made the most sense. For the past part of my project I took things from my actual past and put them in places that made the most sense and had the most meaning to me. For my present I took pictures of things I was doing like school work, burning sage and listening to music or doing projects for school, i didn't really try to make photos of my everyday life but things that have For my future, I'll take pictures of places or things I want to be doing in the future or I want to end up.
