"Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege."

 

My name is Lauren Ann! I am proud to say I made it all the way to senior year at Saint Joseph Academy. I am eighteen years old. My personality is loud and crazy and I am huge extravert! My dog, Tucker, is my best friend and I love him dearly. I take him on walks and runs and play in the backyard frequently because of my love of nature. Since I am a huge outdoors person, most of my photos that I take are outside in nature. Furthermore, since I love being creative with my art projects, I like to make all of my photos very unique in the placement of things, color schemes, subjects, etc. I think imperfection is beauty, because I know that I myself am not perfect and I think everyone and thing should take pride in that. Therefore, I find every unique and creative photo to be perfect and strive for those qualities. I also tend to make my photographs have a lot going on at once, rather than being plain or simple. I like the eye to travel all over the entirety of the picture without being bored.

 

I chose to take pictures of all different paths from the Cleveland Metropark area and around where I live. For each photograph I carefully combined manmade paths (such as footprints), with paths that humans created (such as bridges). i thought that combining nature with city life into one photograph would be really cool because they are complete opposites. Each and every photo in my set has three completely different paths in it. There are so many different choices we have to make in our everyday lives, and we ultimately chose the paths that we go down. Too many people are too afraid to stray from the path that they are currently on. Why not explore the other paths? Don't be plain or simple.
