Matthew DeYoung's Self Portrait
A self portrait is hard for me to make or create. I am the kind of person that would rather not have my picture taken, the only time that I am okay with being in pictures is when I am with my close friends for a group picture. That is why I included the three pictures of me with some of my friends. Since photography is a large part of my life, and it seems like I always have a camera up to my face I had to include a couple pictures that I have taken, including the sunset picture. I am a Christian so it is important to me that I let my Faith show, the cross in this picture is a photoshop brush that I use in a lot of my pictures, and then the silhouette of the man kneeling at the Cross is from another picture. I believe in short and simple, if simply putting four words across the top that are the most important to me, then thats what I need. Nothing more nothing less.

What is art?
I believe that art is all about a persons expression. So many people have different opinions and ideas about what they consider art. Once an artist decides that they want to create the art simply to please other people is, in my opinion, when it has become a job, not simply creating it because they want to and enjoy it.
