This photo turned out to be an emotional one. I decided to photograph Amy right after she brook off her engagement with her boyfriend. She had a lot of his things still lingering around her apartment so I decided to take advantage of it. It made me think back to my own split up 2 years ago. When I moved out we had to decide who kept what. Packing away a life that you once had is hard. These objects have a memory tied to them. And maybe that is why people hold on to things. They can't let go of what once was and these objects are a reminder.
I like the up close shot. It's personal and to the point.
