Savannah Jaye

My name is Savannah Jaye.

I'm a photo student at Savannah College of Art and Design.
I have a passion for people and their stories.
I'm a writer, photographer, and wanderer, but I'm not sure in which order.
I'm living my dream and interning for TWLOHA this spring.

What you read on this blog are my thoughts and my words, and are in no way endorsed or sponsored by TWLOHA.

I'm not there yet, but I'm past the start.

Home

day 12: I’ve never left a place that felt like home.

I’ve left people that felt like home and I’ve had people leave me that felt like home.

But the only time in my life where I genuinely felt as if I was created to live someplace was during my time spent in England.

Then I came to Florida two weeks ago.

And maybe it’s just the beach in january.
And maybe it’s wearing shorts in the winter.
And maybe it’s these people I’m surrounded by.
And maybe it’s waking up each morning with excitement and purpose.
And maybe it’s the newness of being here.
And maybe it’s escaping the regular.
And maybe it’s the break from school.
And maybe it’s being surrounded by music.
And maybe it’s getting to listen to people’s stories.
And maybe it’s finally having time to read books.
And maybe it’s being around passionate people.
And maybe it’s getting to have fun and not feel guilty.
And maybe it’s just this place.

But I really do like it here.
a lot.

I’ve come to discover this quarter that the reoccurring theme for most of my work has to do with disconnections: with places, memories, people, and personal identity. These five images are part of my ongoing project “Anonymous” that I’m submitting for my Project Seminar Class’ final. The images themselves are going to have an additional element added to the prints, but these are the rough edits/digital files!

I’ll post some images from my final project for Large Format Technique later.
