Identify Yourself
by Teresa Hodge

If someone doesn't know who you are, how do you prove it? I chose to take a close-up photo of various identifications and other pieces of information used on a regular basis throughout one's life. As your eyes glaze over the photo, you notice that all fo the information has been smudged, blurred, and erased to the point where you can't read it at all.

Prejudice
by Mechelle Giroux

Right after 9/11 happened, many Americans directed their hatred toward Arab people because the terrorist group was of that ethnicity. This undue hatred caused many Arab people to be beaten, harassed, and eventually leave this country, when they had nothing to do with the act of terror, nor did they condone it. I think this is a very big social issue that needed to be addressed.

Preservation

This photograph is of my old sneakers that are dilapidated. Although they no longer fit me properly, I hold onto them because they represent a younger and more carefree time in my life.

Carlyn, the girl in the picture, has a very high risk of developing melanoma, and her moles, which have been removed, would have been the cause.

While on spring break, I traveled tomany countries, including MExico, Belize and Honduras. When we were about to dock in Honduras, i had no idea that when I stepped off the cruise boat I would experience what my pictures describe. One cannot imagine the poverty that these people live in.
