self portrait 2010 © Emily Porter

Recently I have been trying to really look inside myself and try to express what I am feeling through my images. These are some questions I have been asking myself lately:

What/who do I live for?

What moments in life do I feel that people need to see?

Are the relationships we have the things that build who we are?....experience

This image was taken on a road trip with my boyfriend. We drove all the way to Florida in one day and then to Tennessee to finally meet his grandparents. Their home was filled with antiques and old books and art I was quite fond of. I was truly happy in this moment.
