Week 5 Photographic Series

So I did not take a picture of a series presented in class so I chose one from online. I think this one captures the spirit of the assignment well. 

Last impressions (typing it since I had a lot of thoughts)- Looking at the picture, you not only see a reflection of what she went through over the course of her life, but you also get a glimpse of how she is dealing with it. In her age 24 and 39 photos you see the face of someone who is in pain. When looking at photos of her when she is older, you still see the pain, but you also see some restraint in her face. It is almost as if in her 40's she internalized the idea that the pain won't stop; she had to accept her situation, no matter how bad is seems to her. This also implies that she has a reason to put forward the persona of someone who isn't in pain. Potentially for her children?
