Artist Statement: This is my mom, Connie. She's a really good mom (she always volunteers at my school). I took this photo in our living room when she came home from work. It took us a minute for her to get her pose right, because she had to be in the light of our windows so the photo would be full of natural light. I took about ten photos and just told her to smile or make whatever facial expressions she wanted. I had to play around with the lens on my camera to get it to focus on her right so the emphasis would be on her.
