TriX, developed in darkroom

I was slightly annoyed with my assignment this week in photography class. We were supposed to photograph something meaningful that shows our photographic style and personal expression. Immediately, I thought of submitting photos of my family. They mean the most to me, and this city and these people are still far too foreign to consider them personal.
But of course, I had to shoot a new roll of film and couldn't use old negatives. I thought about photographing friends, and that didn't work out. So I decided to try something a little conceptual. I don't generally like the whole conceptual stuff, because it often comes out cheesy. But it was my last resort. So this is supposed to represent my family and the people who have made me who I am. Read the title and maybe it will make sense.
Crap. Now I'm feeling nostalgic.
I'll shut up now.

I like it, but I was wondering: why is the model's face underexposed? did u do that on purpose? or was it a fluke? it would have been interesting to see some features of the face. but nice work anyways =]

It was done on purpose. The photograph isn't about the person in the photo, so I didn't want to see their face. Plus, I thought it'd be more interesting to keep this simple and minimal, and have the eye drawn to the way the light falls on his back.
Thank you for the thoughts! :-)

Well done for a conceptual piece. This is beautiful! Assignments like this will get easier for you, I'm sure of it.

I like it, how the little flowers can represent all those people. No cheese at all.

I love the way the light is so soft, like a memory, and it slowly grades into darkness.. very well done!
