     I am going on a spaceship that will take me to a faraway place. The 10 photographs i am going to take with me have personal and non-personal value. As a very detail oriented person and flat out neurotic perfectionist, I wanted these images to not only be stimulating in the way personal images are, but also in a general everyday sense that we often overlook and take for granted. I never want to forget my love of music, the struggles and successes of learning pieces, reading music or just making songs up. I value all the man-made things on this earth that surround us daily such as architecture, gravel, and how the earth combines its own elements to effect these things. Just looking at pictures of my ex/best friend is enough to have me mentally wander off for hours. Each picture brings a completely different set of memories, whether they are good or bad. I want to remember humans; I want to remember how i personally looked and felt. Simple things such as food or oxygen are vital to existence. I honestly think If i ever were to go on a spaceship forever, I would lose all sense of humanity because the supreme value of being a human is not just the essence of consciousness but being perverse in the natural world that we are alive in.
