• What did you photograph for your documentary photography series? I spent one of my shifts at my new job,  A Bag Lady, taking some pictures of my boss and I setting up our new christmas decorations and rearranging the store.
• Why did you choose to document this? I chose to document my work because it's really fun and new and there's a lot to look at! Right when you walk in there's a bunch of clothes and jewelry all over, catching your eye. So i thought it would make some really unique photographs.

• What did you want to reveal or show about it? I wanted to show how different my work is from many others. A Bag Lady is a lot like Patina, but smaller and more personal. Anyone can find something fun and special to them and it's a great place to just walk around and look at new stuff!
• What did you learn about what you documented during this process? I learned that it's actually really hard to take pictures of jewelry and sparkley things because the flash reflects the sparkles and makes it hard to take a good photograph! I also learned that my boss hates having her picture taken, haha!
• What is your favorite image and why? My favorite picture is Tree, the picture of all the necklaces hanging because the picture really shows a lot of different colors in the necklaces, and the flash made the background turn black so it makes the necklaces appear really important and bold. Plus, I really love necklaces.
