In the spring of 2016 I was a seventeen-year-old high school senior studying portraiture from photography I could find online, as I didn't have access to a camera of almost any kind, and music and politics were intense obsessions for me. Much of the work from this time no longer exists, due to years of wear and occasionally the disposal of the work by family. In the Fall of 2016 I was an eighteen-year-old community college freshmen completing the assignments I was given. Much of the work from that time is also no longer in existence as it simply didn't register as significant to me at the time.
