So the second part of this assignment was to photograph yourself, as an object.
I chose a rosebud.
To me they are quintessentially British. They remind me of home, of my roots. I chose yellow, the color of the sun; life-giving, it brings joy and happiness. A yellow rose says "I care", it speaks of friendship and joy and gladness.
This is not a brand new bud, nor is it yet in full bloom, but it is full of potential, the journey has begun.
