Little Bear begin Me.

[had to come up with a myth about my life for my Humanities class. This is what I got.]

The Tale of Little Bear

There was once a baby girl born in the southwest. Early on her mother had decided that having big dreams and children at such a young age was not possible; and so it was decided that she would give the infant away.

Luckily Little Bear landed into the loving care of Tiny & Red, and her new brother Bry. It wasn’t long after that she considered them her real family. Unfortunately, the only gift Little Bear inherited from her birth mother was her knack for being horrible with words. As a child, she was unable to decipher the code in which to read them. Many a night she would sit at the table with her mother as she tried to teach Little Bear how to read. These sessions never went very well as they would end with Little Bear breaking down in tears completely defeated.

Eventually she had learned to read words. But she found as she entered into adolescence her ability to wield them in such a way as to describe what she meant was somewhat limiting. This to her was very frustrating. She tried many different things, but nothing seemed to work out as well as she needed them to. After time, she stumbled on to photography. Or more like Mathew Hall. All her life she had been taking photos and never thought much of it. But after viewing his work her eyes were thrown open; photography could be art. And so, afterward every photo she took was an attempt to create art.

Try as she might, the ability to create art with her photography always seemed to allude her. Once she was even told that she ought to quit because she wasn’t getting anywhere in her attempts. Despite this, she kept trying and eventually began to get better.

Little Bear’s emerging passion for photography started her on a journey. On this journey she met many photographers from around the world who would lend their advice. Due to this she was able to learn how to further articulate what she wanted the photos to communicate.

Eventually her journey took her to Chicago where she is currently studying photography even further and plans to always keep it apart of her life.





[not the best written thing ever.. but whatever, I've always been bad about figuring out how things will end.. or how they could/can]
