This photo was taken when I was a few months old. The context of this photo hadn’t been known personally to me therefore I had to investigate by asking certain members of my family. This photo was taken in 2002 which makes sense since I was born in November of 2001. At this time we recently moved to New Jersey. The photo was done by a professional photographer, and there are also a number of other professionally taken photos that had been taken on the same day. All of which sit in an album in the basement. I chose this photo specifically because, for whatever reason this is the photo I had the most contact with. I didn’t ask my mom why she decided to go to a professional photographer in New Jersey to take a number of photos of me as a baby. My assumption is that my mom had recently moved to a new house and wanted to hang new photos on the walls. Perhaps it could have been that she felt that there was a certain milestone that had been achieved when she moved into the new house with a newborn child, and she wanted to remember this point in her life. In the end, we didn’t stay at this house for very long and eventually moved back to New York by 2004.
