This week, we took a photo that inspired us in some way about the future. I chose to take a picture of this payphone near my house. Even though it is not futuristic and is actually quite old, it inspires me because of the way that we as a society keep growing and improving. When …
For this prompt, our goal was to take a photo using a natural frame within the framing of the photo itself. I took this photo with the plants on either side creating a frame around the scene of the girl playing with the dog. I think the dark leaves frame the scene very nicely to …
This week, we were challenged to use our tripod and camera self-timer to take a photo of ourselves. The prompt was to take a photo of ourself in a pose that shows how others see us. I found a nice green background and took this photo. I am a very friendly and loving person, and …
This week, we were simply inspired by food. I took this picture of a delicious Buddha bowl that I had made and thought looked pretty. There are a lot of fun colors and textures in the photo, from the pattern of the bowl to the different foods in the bowl. I also like how the …
This week, I tried out some new methods of using props for trick photography. I wanted to tell the story of a fun childhood toy, the cup phone with strings between each cup. The idea is that if you talk into one end, the person on the other end can hear you through the string. …

This week, we took a photo inspired by current events. I took this photo of my brother on the phone because screen addictions are a big issue lately. There is a teen mental health crisis right now, and a lot of it is being attributed to screen time, especially social media. Screen time also cuts …
For this prompt, I staged a simple scene with an apple on a rock while my friend splashed water on it from one side. I waited until golden hour and then used a very large aperture (the lowest f number on the camera) to make the background blurred, to create depth of field. I also …

I chose gluttony and took this photo of a hand reaching for some red berries. The berries represent a “forbidden fruit” of sorts with their warning red color. They are so tempting, just …
This week we were inspired by music to take a photo. My family and I plays many different instruments among us, and I have dabbled in everything from the organ to the ukulele. I took this photo of the guitar that I took lessons with in fourth grade, learning songs like Baila Bamba and my …
