Mindful Photography

Mindful Photography was a personal project in which I captured moments in my day,  then laid them out to create a unique form of storytelling.

A Breakfast Burrito, Starbucks French Roast Coffee, my Bonsai

tree, a fit check inspired by a long-dead photographer,

and further procrastination of my Portfolio work.

After watching a Tiktok on how starting your day right can lead to changes in how your brain sees the world, and deciding that was how I was going to make it through senior year, my mornings have been very similar.  Get out of bed as soon as I open my eyes. Immediately make coffee, then check on my plants.  The first of which is always my Bonsai.  After that is done I usually muster all my expertise from working in kitchens for 5 years to making a subpar breakfast.  Today’s was a breakfast burrito made with the lonely last egg and copious amounts of Mexican blend cheese. Following breakfast was another cup of coffee and homework. Recently I have been trying to dress up more.  Ya know, be all spiffy and all that and I am thoroughly enjoying it. So if you see me one day walking around the J-school with an outrageous outfit, my sleep-deprived brain thought it looked good this morning.  Anyway, don’t ask me how but Vivian Maier’s self-portraits popped into my mind today and so I decided to try and recreate some of her work while doing a fit check.  And yes, I did have to look up her name.  That’s all she wrote... peace.
