My Jeep.


I love my Jeep.  I miss my Jeep.  I really wish I had my Jeep on campus, but since my parents didn’t agree to me having my car on campus my freshman year of college, I don’t have my Jeep.  My Facebook profile picture is a clear reflection of myself as a college student that longs to be cruising around campus in her Jeep Liberty.  More importantly my profile picture conveys my ability to enjoy what I see around me and how I am able to be easy going and not take life so seriously.  Beginning with my attire, I choose to be photographed in sweats and t-shirt.  This lack of formality in my clothing and my pose, that doesn’t suggest that I am worried about wearing a “photogenic” outfit, shows my easygoingness.  I am perfectly okay with being photographed in work out clothes.  My pose and facial expressions convey the message that I truly miss my Jeep and by pointing to “www.IWantMyJeep.com” I hope to impose others (my parents) into feeling a sense of sympathy for myself.  This was a “Kodak Moment” in my life.  After seeing the Jeep’s tire cover, I knew it perfectly fit my sentiments towards leaving my Jeep at home.  My Jeep has been my first and only car so far and “Only In a Jeep” perfectly conveyed how I felt about owning one and driving around in it.  My somewhat exaggerated expression with a large frown shows that although I do miss my Jeep, I’m making fun of the fact that I don’t have it.  I am able to joke around about something I miss without taking it seriously.  The picture being taken in Fike’s parking lot without any professional equipment or photographs shows a spur of the moment idea.  I never planned this picture or chose the lighting or control the position of the Jeep.   This ability to structure myself in the picture around my surroundings without much control reflects ability to be easy going and roll with what comes my way.  I saw an opportunity to take a picture with something that reminds me of something that I love and miss.  Although, it may just be a car, it means more to me then that and how I control myself in this picture conveys my feelings of longing of my Jeep Liberty that I left in Wisconsin.
