The Only Girl In The Car, a book written by Kathy Dobie, is a memoir of her life as a young girl, growing up in a catholic home. Recounting her childhood onto paper helps to describe herself and also describe the lives of many young girls whom have experienced similar, if not the same incidences. Powerful, emotional and controversial, this book tells stories that impact and shock the soul and spirit of a person, no matter age or sex.
I took this picture of my friends after I asked them to put themselves in the author's shoes. The most interesting part of this photo, is that I refused to direct the picture. I asked my friends to set aside their beliefs, their feelings, their opinions, and their morals in order to attempt to capture how the author might have felt when she was forced into certain uncomfortable, ill at ease situations. Explaining with immense detail, I asked each person to use their imagination and act, in the photo, as how they believed they would have felt in these situations. For this reason, I find this picture particularly interesting because it shows not only my opinion of a visual article to go along with this amazing, prevailing book, but also a few other peoples opinions.
