Emily Gagnon presents her photography portfolio from her photography class over the past year. The portfolio contains photos from various locations and subjects, each titled with a song name that represents the photo. Sections include miscellaneous photos, photos from her secret place in the woods, photos from school, of her cats, of friends, and self portraits. Through the portfolio, Emily learned that while she enjoys art, photography may not be her strongest medium, but she appreciated learning about finding creativity in everyday reality.

3. First photo section: Miscellaneous.

4. Title: Cold Day In The Sun Where: My old front yard Purpose: I took this picture for the calendar project. This one represented November. Somewhat haunting, I think the picture brings out the coldness of the season. The tree is empty, just like the feeling of November.

5. Title: Naked Fears. Where: Home. Purpose: Sometimes, we all feel as though time goes by way too fast, and sometimes, it can be frightening. This picture represent the fear of time.

6. Title: This Is Our Town Where: My hometown Purpose: This picture means a lot to me. I took it one week before I moved out of my hometown. I lived there for 12 years and this place just feels like home to me. I was with my two best friends when I took it, and we were on the top of the arena like we used to do almost every night. I miss this town like you have no idea.

8. Title: In Bloom Where: Near the school. Purpose: This picture was taken when spring was coming to an end and summer was slowly coming. We can see the sun lighting up the tree creating a contrast between it and the blue sky. We can also see some leaves meaning it was blooming.

9. Title: As My Guitar Gently Weeps Where: In my room. Purpose: I wanted to represent one of my passion through a picture so I took out all my music sheets, laid them on the floor and placed my acoustic guitar on it.
