Untitled Family Photo

"Are we not like two volumes of one book?"

So it seems that I made a small mistake with my photo project. When I checked the website for the due dates, the category of family portraits is due next week. It turns out each category is due in a different month and I thought I was screwed. My first instinct was to just lay down and skip this category. But a voice of reason told me that a week is more than enough time to come up with something. What can it hurt? There's no harm in trying. Just because I've not thought about this one as much as the others doesn't mean anything. When certain obstacles are in your way, you force yourself to make decisions quickly and be creative in different ways. And sometimes that can be a very good thing.

I looked around my apartment trying to find something that could pass as a family and on my window sill sat the answer. Among several bottles of perfume were two pumpkins my mother had bought me for Thanksgiving. The fact that both of them were different sizes worked out perfectly to give the picture a new level and of course symbolizes the parent/child relationship.

I took several photos in colour and black and white. The way I shot it called for black and white but I prefer the way the colour ones turned out. I'm still unsure as to the look of the black and whites on this camera. Still haven't mastered it yet.
