Final Project

I shot myself, first, dead by hanging, because I, like most humans, sometimes wish I was dead. But I do it more than most (only a little more, don't worry :p ), and this strikes me as childish. So I expanded on the idea by making my death image merely a photograph which I am viewing quizzically.

The death image came out better than the photoshopped image, just in terms of aesthetics. See what I mean about concept destroying visual appeal for me?

That being said, I don't actually dislike either image as an image. I dislike them both for not being better, obviously, and for not being good, but I look at them and I find some value.

And, in the end, I prefer the hanging photo. I printed both, but I decided, for once in this course, to choose the photo that means less to me but looks better. So the hanging is my final. The other one is sort of a supplement that tells the story of what I did to get there.
