Contact Sheet, 2002 

This is from my first rolls of film in 9th grade. I remember feeling so excited about being in that class. My teacher normally did not allow Freshman into her Photo 1 class, but she made an exception for me and one more girl because we both had previous experience with developing film.

We had a project where we had to photograph still lifes of our own creation but it had to contain an egg. There were others, where we had to focus on composition, panning, frozen motion, depth of field, etc.

I remember thinking about how much I enjoyed my contact sheets more so than the singular photographs. I enjoyed photograms and used dirt and such over this sheet before adding my negatives and creating this print.

I still enjoy the memories it evokes to this day.
