For the ancestry project, I decided to take a picture of my Dad. None of my grandparents live in Canada, so this was the next best option! I really wanted to accentuate the wrinkles and the white/gray hair in his eyebrows, and the grey hairs starting to come in at the sides (much to his dismay!) because I think that those things are good indicators of age. I thought that the black and white helped to emphasize those features. My dad wears glasses and I debated having him wear them or not and decided that he should not wear them just to really focus on his face. I think that the next time I see my grandparents I will try to take a picture of them, because the age will be even more defined on them!
I chose and took these photos all with a common theme. The beautiful sunsets of Vancouver and the surrounding mountains! It is hard to really catch the essence of Vancouver, as it is such a diverse place. The places I captured are the places I find myself the most often. I recently visited some universities in Eastern Canada, and on that drive home from the airport afterwards, I have never been so glad to live in Vancouver. I realized how beautiful the city we live in is, and was almost brought to tears by how much I love my home. As we drove over Lions Gate Bridge the sunset was beautiful and I had never appreciated Vancouver more.
