For my "somewhere" project I decided to insert myself into my favorite show of about 10 years now, Gossip Girl. Before coming to Tampa for college I lived in New York, where the show takes place, so it was always nice to watch and be able to recognize most of the places they filmed at. The show focuses on the "elite socialites" in Manhattan in the early 2000's, so I've also always enjoyed watching the luxury and glamor the characters got to portray with their roles. I chose to insert myself against the car due to the symmetry of the picture, noting that the typical pattern of how they were arranged is boy, girl, and so on. Also, Blaire Waldorf (the brunette) is on the opposite side of the limo which allowed where I placed myself to even out the focal point of the image, instead of drawing all of the attention to one side.

For my image, my friend Bella and I decided to sit in Plant Park and watch the sunset the other night. We try to keep this tradition at least once a week, just as a way to relax and de stress from our classes and everything else going on in the world around us. Watching the sunset is one of my favorite things to do in the whole world, especially at the beach or by the river, and Bella is one of my best friends which makes it a great tradition for us to try and follow as often as we can, which is why it is so relevant for both connection to the world around me and connection to other human beings.
