I fought with the pantry over and over to get these shots.

I feel as though I'm finding my niche.

This image was incredibly hard for me to make, and post. As a person who has dealt with eating disorders in her past, finding the strength to be comfortable enough to show my mid-section in such light was really hard. I'm okay with it. I'm content with who I am, and putting this up to show to the world is proof of that. I really enjoyed shooting this series, even though I find it hard to shoot myself. Life is good.

So feel down.

This represents one of my most fulfilling recreations of a reoccurring dream I have. I had it while deciding on what I needed to do next for my 326 Photography class. The day before I was to choose something to create, I had this dream. When I woke up..I just knew I needed to somehow show what I have been seeing so long. I get this dream about once a month, sometimes twice or more when I'm stressed. I haven't figured out what it means, I haven't researched or anything though.
The dream consists of me in a field. Everything organic has lungs and is breathing all around me. Its calming, and tranquil. I wish I could be there every day. This dream is such a real thing to me, I never go anywhere, I never do anything crazy or bazaar I just sit there in the field while everything is connected and breathes together. I've always felt a really strange connection to trees and I've often wondered if there is reason for that. I'm not religious, nor spiritual, but if I were to categorize myself as anything I would say "desperately in love with all things green".

Just a Subtle Dream.

This was shot in PA, actually in Intercourse PA...It was magical.

Momentary Confusion.

Finding a perfect balance between to much and not enough is always hard. I find it very interesting to look back on images that I have created days, weeks, even years ago. These images are almost completely different from where I am headed with my work. I almost look at my images critically, thinking that it sucked and continue onto the next thing. The next thing always seems to be better at the time, but then becomes a past piece thus becoming something that sucks.
I need to break this habit. I need to look at images that I have created and find a content middle ground in which I can appreciate and at the same time tear it apart.
This is where I bring a blog into the picture, where I can post images and ask for critique from fellow artists, and creators. This image is something I created years ago. I'm posting this for a sincere response.
My name is Christina Munson, and I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I have been involved in all forms of art for a number of years, some being the most gruesome of my life. I will be posting my latest work along with very old and almost forgotten images. I hope this gets some amount of followers.
