My old work I stumbled upon...

I carry your heart © Emily Porter

I feel as though I am doomed to love you forever.
It makes me sick. I carry the pain of loving you
and yet you do nothing, feel nothing. I will go through
life always feeling this way, it will not leave me. You enter
my thoughts constantly and I try to dismiss them, but it makes
the pain worse.

I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.

I have decided, like so many photographers, to take self portraits on my birthday each year, simply to see a difference with aging. This is my second year doing this life long project that I feel will develop into quite an interesting series.

Encased Thought

Encased Thought © Emily Porter

These images reflect on moments in life, that I believe every individual experiences. I try to convey a sense of oneself through the images through hiding the identity of the individuals, therefore it could be anyone. Experience is everything in ones life. It develops who we will be in our lives and creates memories as well as behaviors that mold the person we inevitably become. I want to show the moments that I feel every woman goes through, that moment of realization of ones life, and their surroundings. That moment of “awe” when viewing the image has passed, of the world we are surrounded by, and experience every day.
