Ok guys these are what I have so far for my digital self project. It is about my mother, and my fear of becoming her. The first one is this ironic look at the ideal housewife. The second is getting pregnant and feeling trapped. The third is me as a child having this need to imitate her, the way that I idolized her as a child. I duplicated the images and mirrored them to show this connection I have with her whether I want it or not. I love some feed back!!

Chelsea I love these. they are really well thought out and I like the mirror image effect. Good job can not wait to see them all in class next week.
Hi Chelsea. I REALLY like the second image. I'm guessing your arrangement of the pillows/sheets was intentional. Very cool. I like the mirrored images, but I wonder if it might be even more effective if you had different expressions on your face on each side (to contrast your desire to be like your mom vs. not be like your mom). I realize you may not have time to photograph them this way but it's just something to think about if you continue this series. Way to go on tackling a tough personal topic. I like.
Very interesting wow
these are working really well for me...yo quiero mas
Chelsea, another thought for you to mix stuff up would be to look at placing yourself in some other positions since 2 & 3 are sort of repetitive for me. I love them though and can't wait to see the rest.
Great start chels, sorry it took me so long to look at them. You really have created a great concept for being so freaked out just a little bit ago, love the last 2. The last one is my fav!!! I'm not sure of the mirror effect, it shows what you want but I think Leslie is right in maybe varying the sides, but weather you do anything else or not I think you have 3 very strong and meaningful pictures that represent what you wanted and convey that well to the viewer. Good work, sorry it took me sooo long to look, I'm a horrible friend :.(
