Prompt 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15

#11- A place I remember is standing on a dock up north.  My friend Jenn and I went to her Aunt's house about 3 hours away, and we got there at night.  After we took our things inside, we made some food, then went out onto the dock on a lake and talked.  I don't have any pictures of this, but if I had taken a picture it would be dark.  The stars would be bright, and light would be coming from other houses that were around the lake, and reflecting off of the water.  The picture would be Jenn and I sitting on the dock with the water, houses, and dark sky behind us.  We would probably be mid conversation.  If I went back there today, I don't think much would have changed, besides her and I looking a little older.  There would not be much color in the image besides the hues of the sky and lights, and possibly the color of our clothes.

#12- A picture that comes to my mind is a picture of my mom, brother, and I sitting on a couch in our living room when I was about 4.  We were dressed up for something, maybe going to church on Easter? My mom is laughing and grabbing my brother's shirt, my brother is starting to get up and walk away, and my face is scrunched and smiling.  If we took this picture now, the couch in the living room would be different, but the living room would be the same.  All of us would look much older, and my brother probably wouldn't even agree to reenact it. Thinking about this photograph makes me remember a time when things were simple and family came first.

#13- I am always interested to see these while driving, I would take a picture of a landfill.  From far away they look like huge hills, then when you get closer you see it's a hill made of garbage.  I think even just taking some trash and putting it in nature, making your own hills or whatever, could be interesting.  I would want to make the image look like it was something that was beautiful and natural, and then maybe have another image that showed the garbage for what it really was.

#14- In a picture of a familiar place, it might show that there has been something that has happened here.  For instance, a deserted house may be empty now, but there is proof that someone once lived there.  Whether it's the house itself, or things that you might find inside of it.  I would want to take pictures of things that were inside.  In a faraway place, I would imagine something that had no proof of anyone being there.  I would imagine a picture where all you saw was the landscape, like a picture of the ocean where all you can see is water.  Obviously the ocean is used by humans all the time, but I wouldn't want anything leading the viewer to know that.

#15- I would take a picture in Florida, and a picture in London.  I lived in Florida and worked for Disney for about 6 months when I was 19.  I hated it, and just wanted to come home to my family, friends, and boyfriend.  Then last summer I went to London and absolutely loved it.  While I was there, it felt like it was home.  I didn't ever want to leave but obviously had to.  I would like to be able to put images of me in each of these places in the same image, to show how differently I felt about each place. Also to show that "home is where the heart is", my heart was definitely in London, and it felt so comfortable. Also I feel that this image would show the growth I've had in the past few years, physically, but it would imply the growth that has happened mentally as well.
