Momentos is a photographic series exploring the mystery, emptiness and darkness as a reflection of feelings of loneliness and depression. These themes relate to each other and demonstrate how an image may  make the viewer feel what I feel.  I am aware that my images may also connect to other feelings or thoughts that people are dealing with that are different from my own.  

In this work, I utilize night photography and choose to focus on places where there are no people around.  This emphasizes the feeling of isolation and loneliness that I am trying to express. Using long exposures and using cameras interchangeably to have more options to choose from for my final results. I also take advantage of the street lights to help set the mood for my images.  I like to use blue and yellow tones for peace. The red tone is to represent danger or negative space. I sometimes do my own filters like breathing on the lens to make it seem dreamy or use color markers on the lens to set a tone. The image quality will vary depending on what will look best to show a specific feeling. The smoother the image, the more emotional result I get out of it. The more detail I capture, the more distracting it will be.
