This week’s photo blog prompt was “the elements.” I decided to show this prompt in my photo by showing how rain appears on car windows when I am traveling. This photo was taken on a long road-trip that I spent the majority of staring out the window and listening to music. I know that the

The prompt for this assignment was to “capture a reflection.” Some examples were provided for us, most including pictures of reflections on water, like that of a mountain range on a lake.

This year’s final prompt was, “Every exit is an entry to somewhere else. Be inspired by an exit this week.” My first thought for this prompt was to take a picture of a door or exit sign, but I thought that seemed a little obvious. So, I decided to try to capture an “exit from
This week’s prompt was, “We live in a world surrounded by geometry. Use geometry in your photo this week.” Initially, I focused my shots on manmade structures with very clear geometrical elements, like squares and triangles.
