My choker is very important for me because it was a gift from my mother on my 15th birthday, so it’s a memory of the day. I look at it at night because it is very shiny because it has diamonds and is the color silver. I love my choker how I love my mother because for me it represents love and the best day of my life. When I look it at it, I remember how good that day was, so I wear it every birthday. In my family it is important to keep something from the 15th birthday as a memory and have it for years.I have my choker for three years. I brought it from the Dominican Republic, so I could keep something I use on Christmas to show family and new friends. My choker symbolizes a part of my life that I don’t show others: who I am and who I want to be. My choker was also used by my twin sisters at their fifteenth birthday party. I’m going to keep it for my daughter to have and pass it from generation to generation as it was passed to me. It’s my good luck charm. The subject of this photo is a choker. For the background I used a pink soft fabric. I used a centered  composition. The orientation is portrait.The elements of design this photo shows are a diamond shape and soft texture. I chose this photo because I like the angle.
