Over the years we have been in this photo department, we have seen everyone ideas and concepts grow and change dramatically. I know that mine have changed greatly with each new assignment and project.
There has always been one constant in my work and thought processes not matter what kind of work I was working on. It is that I focus a great deal of my own personal feeling and more specifically social anixeties that challenge me.
This work on the right, are pieces that I look back on and realize how much they illistrate how I feel with my own personal challenges. (left) Untitled, 18X25, Photography, A. Selbe, 2007

I'm not sure if that is what I want to focus on for this year's work. And I'm trying hard to figure out what to do. Doing things that make me happy are really important to me. When I am the most comfortable and interested in my work I always do better not matter how much I try to make other ideas work. The series of traveling photographs I took for my Locations class are my favorite so far.
Searching: Blue Car, 20X16, Photography, A Selbe, 2009
I love these images because of the locations I found. When I have time to take pictures of anything i want that is what I do. I jump in the car and drive to the middle of nowhere and find interesting things to take pictures of. I'm not sure why abandoned buildings and cornfields are so interesting to me. I find myself thinking about the things that people pass by everyday and never see the beauty in. To me the back roads of the country is the most beautiful place.
"Searching: Train ride" 17x24in, Photography, A. Selbe, 2009
This is another image from my traveling series. The places that I discovered when making
this series were all unique and the most part new to me. I love this discovery process and the
time i get to myself when i am discovering the places and taking the photographs. I want to retain
this feeling with the work I do this year. My ideas for what to do are still swirling in my head and I
am trying to make sense of it all.
