Title: The Year 2020 - A Self Portrait
This year has been heavy, to say the least. My dog passed away at the beginning of the pandemic. Seven of my friends have died since the month of March, two by suicide. The paranoia of getting the virus, the constant fighting on my social media feed and constant flow of bad news makes me feel like I'm drowning. I had so many emotions going on that the only thing I could do was let it out. Photography has been one of my outlets to release my emotions in a positive way. This image is a self-portrait and it was created because it is how I have felt through this year. I find that there is a bit of humor attached but that is also something I use to get through tough times. Anyway, here it is.
