The content of this picture describes me in a couple different ways. The final image was my original plan B due to weather the past week. Ask another photographer how this picture was created, and they will tell you the same thing, painting with light. Rather than a creative professional, I consider myself an artist. Art is a big part of who I am and who I will be in the future. Expressing my creativity has always been something significant to me. With that thought I decided the majority of the content in this image should be painted, but not on canvas or paper. I choose to paint through my favored medium of choice. Music has played an important roll in my life; I am a musician, and a music lover. Music has always been and forever will be influential to me. The painted text reads “Feed Your Head.” It is a lyric from one of the most influential bands on rock-n-roll culture, and one of my personal favorites “The Jefferson Airplane.” The band is known for their psychedelic music, with off the wall lyrics from lead singer Grace Slick. The term could be used for many different things. I once heard that what makes humans such an outstanding species is our curiosity. I like to apply “feeding your head” to everything. Weather it be feeding your thoughts and conscious with knowledge of new and exciting things that you would have never thought of before. In my Plan A for this picture, the location was going to be a lot different. I have grown up on the East side of the Las Vegas valley, the foothills of Sunrise Mountain. Growing up on the East side of town has defiantly made an influence on which I am as a person so I chose to take the picture at the very place that I have been socially constructed.
