Don't Break These Promises

Don't Break These Promises

• May 22, 2012

Whenever my friend Rob came to visit me at my on-campus apartment, he currently resides in New York City, he would always offer to take my outfit pictures. This would force me to change out of my sweats and put some effort into how I looked that day. It was during one of these hang outs when we discovered my perfect outfit picture location.

There was a giant, luxury apartment complex being built across the street from my apartment and, since the bottom floor (for stores) was still under construction, the nearby pathway was usually empty. No people? Check. The complex was so tall that it blocked out any chance of sunlight and I usually prefer taking pictures in the shade. No sun? Check. The long pathway and pastel tiling also gave a beautiful sense of perspective. Check. I hit the jackpot. Too bad I moved back home before I got any more use out of it.

Now that I'm back home I really want to get some more use out of my tripod and start taking some self-portraits again. The problem is, all of my usual abandoned areas are being torn down and reconstructed with shopping centers. What can I do? Guess it's time to scout out some new locations that are void of people. Otherwise, I'll just learn to deal with the glances of strangers who are all thinking, "what in the world is that girl doing jumping in front of her tripod...alone?". Maybe I'll get a little sign to prop up that says "Blogger at Work".
