In order to show myself without actually being part of the image was hard, however, personally I preferred it. On a day to day basis I find it easier to describe myself by the adventures I take, the people I meet or objects which posses a story. The first imagine which I see as showing myself is my cat, Frodo. As a kitten he was found in my back garden as a complete accident and was severely ill, however upon rescuing him, he became a healthy house cat. I've used this picture of him as for the past three years he has relied on me completely making him one of my first big responsibilities as I was still young, therefore showing how easily my life was influenced by something so small as a kitten. The second image was taken at my birthday campout. The people I have met recently I haven't known for long however they all have become a large part in my life. Despite not knowing them long, they all came out for my birthday and made it something which I did not expect. The reason why I picked this image out of them all was due to the many different occurrences within the picture as no one knew I was taking it. This image also shows another part of my life which is the more outdoorsy side of myself. During the summer, exploring and camping was normal for me and my friends, however due to the weather becoming worse and worse, camping was a less desired option. For my birthday, however, everyone made the effort to come out as they knew, when exploring, the unexpected often happens; which is my main reason for loving the outdoors. The final picture which I believes helps to describe me is the sun rise taken the morning after the campout. The reason why I picked this was due to the time and place it was taken. At 5am, the majority of the world is sleeping or soon to wake in order to begin their day; however I was sat watching the sun rise with people who I would call my everything. Often, looking back on pictures such as these make me feel somewhat blessed due to the rarity of this experience. Everyone has saw a beautiful sun set and taken pictures of it yet have never experienced a sun rise as beautiful as I did. Being able to say that due to my lifestyle my friends and I get to experience many beautiful mornings like this, and for that I only have myself to thank. Personally experiences like that actually allow me to describe myself.
