Storytelling: Scars

Featured in The List 2015 & Scars and Stories

I am working on a new series about scars and storytelling. The prompt storytelling was presented to me during my grad class at Towson. I am also doing it as part of "the list" with my AP students.

Scars are physical reminders of stories that we can never fully get away from. I usually associate with physical wounds. The stories behind them are usually dark and can oftentimes be regretful. This particular image is a scar I received from my freshman year of college. It is an everyday reminder of the descisions that I made on that night. It is not something I am proud of, but something that I learned from. This series is being comepleted digitally and shot in "low key." This is my first attempt at this type of lighting.
