Bree Pt. 2 - A review of the last several weeks.

Alright y'all. I am sure I am not the only one to say this but this semester is whooping my butt like no tomorrow. Any more I barely get more than one day off of work a week and adding the course load of all my other demanding classes, I feel like I am drowning. But, nonetheless, I persist.
 A few weeks ago I changed my idea from the dreams, phobias, and philias over to two mini series: SKINtimate and EYEdentity. The basis of SKINtimate is that there are defining factors of someone that is not in their personality. I wanted to focus on this part of them that, at the end of the day, you cannot wash off. Things like tattoos, birthmarks, scars, stretchmarks, everything that cannot just be wiped off like makeup. These marks are forever on your skin, with the exception of some tattoos after laser removal. When you think of these physical features, sometimes you don't always think of these things as a defining factor, but they are the most permanent one of all other than the eyes.
This brings me to the other mini series: EYEdentity. There are photos previously seen of people from the tip of the nose up and just with a set of eyes and some eyebrows, that is all the information your brain needs to instantly know who that person is if you knew them prior. I wanted to take this idea and play around with it in reference to a previous portrait I did in Photo 3 with my friend Aaron (included). I wanted to focus mostly on the pure fact that with such minimal information, your brain can instantly recognize someone. BOOM. Isn't that weird. Well, here are some photographs I had so far as of October 23rd.
