My dad is gone backpacking for a week.
My mom hates taking care of our chickens slightly more than I do, so I'm stuck with the task while he's gone.
I went in there to feed them, and one was just laying in the corner dead.
I'm not hungry.

Chase crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. John called me last night saying he wasn't bringing Chase over for a visit, that he was under the weather. His passing was sudden and he leaves behind many who loved hm. NO INVITES Please. Sad very, sad day for everyone affected by the devasting Quake.
RIP Lil Villian and Sleepy. (Estevan Silva Jr. & Israel Diaz, killed in a drive-by shooting in Toppenish, WA on March 5th, 2009)
Artist Statement
My name is Elizabeth Madison. I am a sophomore and I’m taking digital photography. I love photography and I have no idea why its just fun to capture moments in a frame I guess. This was our final project in digital photography; we took a scene from the book we read and captured it in a picture. I read Dreamland it is a story about a girl named Caitlin who just turned sixteen and her sister runs away. She has always lived in her sister’s shadow now she’s trying to do things her sister wouldn’t. She joins the cheer squad; on her way to a party she meets Rogerson, a boy who’s unlike anyone else she knows. She leaves her world of cheer and normality, which she is used to, and begins a journey she won’t ever forget. With her now abusive boyfriend and the usage of drugs she starts to loose herself. She takes a photography class with her mother and neighbor, during the class there is a self portrait assignment. Caitlin takes a picture in the mirror. After her parents finding out about the abuse and the drugs Caitlin is sent to a rehab center where she rips the self portrait. As she progresses she starts to tae the picture back together kind of taping her life back together, this is what I portrayed the ripped picture put back together.
I tried to do a lot of different things for this project but nothing really worked, until I thought of this. To take a picture of myself in the mirror, print it, rip it up, and tape it back together. I think it shows that everyone is torn about something but you can always put yourself back together. I wanted to do something simple, just one simple picture so when I ripped it, it would be simple but not really. I tried to look lost and confused, because at the time of the picture (in the book) Caitlin was. In the book while dating Rogerson, Caitlin had to wear long sleeves and pants because of the bruises he left on her skin from the many hits. In this picture I’m wearing a sweatshirt and pants, not much of my skin is showing. I tried making it as much like in the book as I could. This was an amazing book and I hope I did it justice with this picture.
