Description When I first began to mold my own style in photography, I could instantly tell what the image will look like in my head before I started on the post-processing. I still do to this day, but now it's like I'm seeing the world how I see my photos.

My imagination is so colorful and dream-like. It’s funny how when I was struggling with depression from 2007-2013, I wanted to express my mental illness through photography, and I had written out lots of thought-provoking and compelling conceptual portrait ideas in a journal; but being comfortable behind the camera and lacking any volunteers to model for me, I questioningly ended up creating bright and colorful photos of the most random things. Just the exact opposite of what I wanted to make (like how Spongebob tried to make fine dining cuisine but his food ended up turning into Krabby Patties LOL, sorry, that was a bad analogy)

It makes me wonder, if I had started any of the concept ideas in my journal, would it had fueled my depression and made it worse?

I really love the contrast of the colors, as it makes the leaves stand out even more!
