Tara and the Town

I decided to use the movie Sex and the City for inspiration because I have always enjoyed and felt a connection to the show and the movie. I feel like Sex and City is a great show and movie for women, it shows four very successful women that despite their differences are best friends. These women deal with all sorts of womanly issues, everything from Breast Cancer, a cheating husband, an adoption, an unexpected pregnancy, a canceled wedding, starting over, unfair treatment in the work place, and balancing their success with their failures. I drive to be a well rounded successful woman, with the self confidence to deal with everything that I will have to deal with just because I am a female. In the film stills I decided to play the role of Carrie. Carrie is a strong individual that deals with heartache and trying to be true to herself. Being a single girl is can be hard, but it is always fabulous. I had to be quite creative with my photographs, due to my last minute nature. I had done 5 well dressed wonderful sex and the city film stills, however I realized the cord to get the pictures from my camera to my computer happen to be in my house in Lebanon. Plus the more I looked at the pictures the more fake they looked. So I took pictures I already had on my computer from my years here at college and turned them into my own film stills. I loved the artworks of Barbara Kruger and decided to turn my photography into Barbara Kruger inspired film stills using quotes from the movie/show. The photographs still show me as Carrie, but now they show less Carrie and more of me.
