something about my family (specifically my brother and my father) is that they love salt. its something they add to almost everything; they add it to spaghetti, beef, chicken, noodles, mash potatoes, even things that already have salt added to it. im not too big on extremely salty stuff, i mean sure ill always choose savory over sweet but its not something i need for every meal. something specific about this salt is the type of it, its pink himalayan salt which some how in a way better for you? no matter what, i think this represents a part of my life and my self.
Sweet Treat
Sweet Treat (crystalize pixelation.)
Vanilla cookies with cream in the middle, a house hold staple. not only are these cookie extremely good and sweet, but they will always serve as an easy snack or desert. theres so much you can do with these and my family is obsessed with them. we convinently keep them in a container on the kitchen counter so you can always get them whenever. this represents me because ive always loved these cookies, and i never really got to have them because we never kept them in the house, so now that we have these in the house, i feel like my younger self eating a special treat.
Nutty

when i was younger, i never really knew the right way to open a pistachio and eat it. the tiny nuts encased in a tight tan shell were probably my biggest enemies. when i finnally learned how to open them properly, i gained a new enemy. this new enemiy were the pistachios that were barely opened. it felt as though id gone back to not knowing how to open them. my dad eventually taught tips and tricks about how to open these nuts, and its something we were able to enjoy together, which unfortunately we cant do now because of his new disliking towards them. either way these nuts will forever hold a place in my heart, and the memories that i have connected to them.
Berries

i knew i had to include one of my favorite fruits, and i also knew that the favorite fruit would have to be blueberries. blue berries are something me and my brother share in common. we can both finish an entire carton together and still want more. its always been something weve bonded on, but it may just be a twin thing.
Apple
Apple (pointalize)
Not only are apples delectable, but the variety of them is so appealing to me. honeycrisp apples have always been my favorite type of apple, falling a close second on my favorite fruits. Apples arent just delicious, but they're so versatile and you can make so many delicious foods and pastries out of them. i chose to photograph this apple because of my love for them, and they're significance to me.
