Non-Self Self-Portrait Proposal

For my non-self self-portrait, I aim to leave a little bit of myself in the picture. I will set a scene at a kitchen table with a newspaper, a cup of coffee, and my glasses. On the cup of coffee will be a newspaper ink fingerprint. This signifies my time working at The Chronicle Telegram. This is important to me because it helped me grow both as an artist and an informed citizen. It has greatly defined who I am today. This fingerprint will be the main focus of my photograph. It will represent how the things I learned at the newspaper have become a huge part of my identity, so much so that it is in my very DNA.
