The portrait I utilized for My Images for critique is a Portrait of my mother. I chose her not only
because she was a more than willing subject, but based strongly on my single parent upbringing. She
somehow managed to raise two children while working three jobs for as long as I remember. I for one
am very proud of that because it has inspired me to be a major part of my son's life.
The background is the same street I walked to the bus stop to go to school. The car pulling in the
driveway is Mr. Waters, the only retired WWII vet I know. He still has an American flag Posted on a
pole very similar to what you would see at the post office posted in his yard. The second picture is a
photo of what used to be a military recruiter's office. As I drove by I began to think about all the
military service members who may have started their career here. I chose the wide angle approach
because I wanted the whole building in the frame. Im by no means compairable to Susan Worsham
but I can say I feel like I really tried.
