Artist statement Family. This week I had to take pictures of portraits. I took pictures while I was on vacation in Mexico. I took pictures of my Aunt, my Brother and Cousin, and my brother. I had some difficulty because I couldn't always get very close to the person. Or they wouldn't look my way. Also I wanted my pictures in front of nature but I was in a resort so there wasn't much nature. All of the pictures have man made stuff in it.
