I took a still life on shells. I collect shells from every beach that has them. These shells are from an Alabama beach two summers ago. The shells represent my love of travel and they hold a my memories from that trip. It is important to me to document it because if I lose the shells I will always have a picture of them. I placed this still life by putting the shells on top of black poster paper. I also put the shells by a window to get the natural light.
