Continuing on with this I'm starting to compose in my head the words to go with each image. It's getting easier for me to see the things in my life that evoke the comforting feeling of home and becoming more vulnerable with the camera. I'm becoming more glad that I'm doing this because it's allowing me to not only get to know myself more but be more comfortable with creating images that are, at least to me, uncomfortable and raw. I feel like doing this is allowing me to better photograph more emotional subjects in the future because I can then, in some way, relate to people and offer advice to people about being vulnerable for a camera. For display.

I've rephotographed one scene and have photographed a couple new ones. I photographed one of my Zoom dates with Ethan thinking that could be part of this but none of the photos felt right or like they belonged so I've decided to leave them out and instead focus on the things. Keeping it simple.

I have ideas for future ones too. With the weather turning, I have a dish my Grandma always makes that I now make whenever it's cold or I want to feel close to her. I also have ideas for frames of my cat, typewriter and piano. Three more things that offer me a sense of "home."
