IN THE SHADOWS – Jessica Proulx

EMMERT

When I was a kid, I used to run from my shadow. At night in my room, the only thing a shadow could make was something that scared me. It takes imagination to turn something into something it really isn’t. To me shadows are like finding shapes in the clouds.

FAST TIMES AT HERITAGE HIGH – Jay Ulrich

EMMERT

Mr. Strong meets Mr. Hand. The similarity is uncanny.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a 1982 American coming-of-age teen comedy film written by Cameron Crowe and adapted from his 1981 book of the same name. As a freelance writer for Rolling Stone magazine, Crowe went undercover at Clairemont High School in San Diego, California, and wrote about his experiences.

In 2005, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

KRISPY – Sierra Lake

EMMERT

Krispy has always been dear to my heart. My mom and dad gave her to me when I was six years old on Valentines Day, and ever since then I’ve adored her. She is very important to me and if anything ever happened to her I would be really sad. I wanted to have a photo series of something I really love, and Krispy was the first thing that came to mind…Plus she is super adorable!

These photos represent what our stuffed animals do when we’re gone during the day or on vacation. I thought a lot of people could relate to this because we all have the one toy from our childhood that we still have sitting in our room.

PS: SHE ISN’T A BUNNY, SHE’S A DOG!

LAY DOWN YOUR BURDENS – Jessica Harness

EMMERT

I happened upon some old pictures I found. Looking at them reminded me of my old self–the old Jessi. These are unwanted memories–heavy burdens that lay on my heart. I had to renounce these emotions once and for all–so I severed each photograph with the satisfaction of a pair of scissors. My heart will never be burdened again–Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir, Farewell…

REMEMBERING YOU – Amanda Mar

EMMERT

I remember walking through stores with my grandpa, hand in hand. I grew up with him raising me, from when I was a newborn until I was seven. No matter what the weather was, he would take me out to different places so I wouldn’t bother my uncle and cousins when they were studying or sleeping. It didn’t matter if it was rain, or snow, hot or cold, we would go to places…like Kings Bakery. The bakery held the aroma of fresh baked pastries. You could see the bakers making the bread in the back. It was always busy and filled with people that he knew. Read more →
