I’m a junior at St. Joseph Academy, where I am studying photography and the different ways to use it to evoke emotions. I’ve done projects that use certain lighting, and I’ve made the alphabet out of shapes in nature and around my house. My favorite thing to take pictures of so far is nature, because I believe that everyone sees nature in a different way. Most of my pictures are really open to interpretation, and I really enjoy hearing what other people get out of my photographs.
My traditional self portrait doesn’t say anything in particular about me, except that I love St. Ed’s. I really love this picture, although I don’t think there’s anything special about it. I made the background black and white so that I would stand out, and I blurred someone out of the background, because this was MY self portrait. The lighting in the room was diffuse, supplied by a ceiling fixture in a bedroom. I used PhotoShop to help change the colors in the picture, because the colors were pretty bland and boring before. I think the picture represents me very well; I love my curly hair, that is my favorite sweatshirt, I have an obsession with blue eyes, and my favorite thing to take pictures of is myself.
My alter ego is myself, as a cheerleader. I’m definitely not a cheerleader; I’m not peppy and excited, and I have no flexibility or coordination. I’m not the kind of girl who will jump around screaming and smiling. In my alter ego self portrait, I’m standing in a cute pose, wearing a cheerleading uniform. The bow in my hair and the crazy “cheer make-up” are like frosting on the cake. They just make the picture seem even more realistic, and like I’m about to go to a competition. This picture is also diffuse lighting, and I used a white sheet taped on a wall to make it look like a professional picture. I mounted the picture on black mounting to make the picture really pop, and to make the bright colors of the uniform stand out.
My photos are stand-alone. They don’t really contradict each other; it’s not like one is really happy and one is sad. Both pictures are very happy, and they are both clearly me. The main difference is my personality. In my traditional self=portrait, I’m just me. Cassie Garvey, with her hair and make-up done, going to a football game. In the altered portrait however, I showed myself as something that I’ve never had a chance to be; a cheerleader with crazy hair and a huge smile on her face. They’re not a diptych photos because they don’t really off-set each other.
Wallpaper from long ago.
The crowd applauded politely as the Bishop of Birmingham, the Right Reverend Edward Isley D.D laid the foundation stone. It was October 17th, 1905. The building was to be a red brick two storey affair, with a central court yard. Father Hudson, the priest responsible for its building would have felt very proud and full of hope as the boys home opened soon after. However, after 91 years, the home closed it's doors for the last time. Today, St Edwards home for boys lies empty and boarded up.

Weather cock and flag of St George on the tower of the church.
St Edward's was built in about 1430, on a religious site dating back to Saxon times. There was further renovation in 1775 which is recorded at the time as having "been hated" by the locals. Extensions on the church are dated 1910 and 1906.
