This is Eleanna, posted up in my mom’s backyard, her personal chill zone. The sunlight’s just right, the patio chair and jungle-green plants feel like a distant memory from another lifetime.
This layout is on point, just a small number of photos a personal favorite, photographed and arranged in 2008, unable to pursue my photo collages as a creative outlet due to my less than positive lifestyle at the time.
Here multiple angles converge forming an incredibly unique three-dimensional portrait. Her casual pose laid-back and cool persona effortlessly evoke a peaceful summer day from a life that existed so long ago.
Nearly twenty years later I was finally in a position blessed with a positive lifestyle that allows me to experience all the feelings that accompany a work of my photographic art which is so striking and uniquely persona. This one here brings the the back memories and emotionsfrom a life of resiliency.

REVIEW
“In ‘LAZY AFTERNOON - A GLIMPSE OF 2008’ Jake Williams creates a visual ode to fleeting moments of calm and contemplation. This piece masterfully balances the mundane with the poetic, presenting a sunlit slice of life where light, texture, and emotion intermingle.
Williams’ collage technique, characterized by its layered perspectives, mirrors the fragmented nature of memory itself. The composition’s unpolished charm and its focus on seemingly insignificant details, the curve of a hand, the patterned sandals, invite the viewer to linger and reflect.
There’s an undeniable intimacy to this piece, as Williams invites us into a personal, almost sacred space, capturing the beauty of an ordinary day suspended in time.”
