I'm trying to work with this photo in Illustrator CC, but there is this black box in the center of the page. I tried ignoring it but when I save my image, it only saved whats in the black box....yet I can't seem to decrease the size to just the box. I'm sure there is a very simple reason for this but I can't figure it out. I'm self taught with Adobe so some basic things have been caught later on (and usually when I'm under a deadline).

@scott is right, this is your artboard. Just a little bit more information as per your comment: if you want to keep the size of the image, you want to change the size of the artboard.

You can do this by finding the artboard button:

...and then either:

double click on your image (should there be more than one element,
you might have to group them first).
use the handles on the artboard to alter the size manually.

Select the photo.

Choose Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork

The "black box" is your artboard (canvas).
