Photos of Trevor

Having my photo taken leads to an over-analytical process that takes place in my head. The whole time leading up to the picture, and even while the event is taking place, all I can do is wonder if I should take a serious picture and try to live up to the moment, or should I try to make the picture more entertaining for whoever sees it. Its not that I don't think I' m photogenic really, for I think I look rather dashing in most photos, but whether or not others will see through what is just a picture. I'm not necessarily insecure about my looks, I just think my personality is my stronger suit (although it may rarely come out in this class.) It takes a little while for me to come out of my shell but for those that know me, they know that I am quite entertaining and tend to always have a good quip for any moment.
I feel that a picture gives the opportunity for me to have fun, even when it is not quite the time. A picture for me isn't necessarily about the outcome of the shot but more so the memory that I create while being in the picture. I can still think back to team and group pictures that I was in throughout my life and I tend to be able to conjure up a good memory about that moment. They are usually with my closest friends and seeing the the photo takes me to the time that I had with them and all of the fun that we had, and still have when together. For me, photos don't say words so much as bring back memories, as well as create new thoughts.
