And here we are at last – the final Photo Challenge. It’s been a long and difficult journey, but we’ve made it at last. The prompt this week was to take a photo representing something that inspired us about the future. What first came to mind for me was the fact that I’m going to…

Frame Within the Frame
I was looking out a window in my house and trying to decide how I wanted to frame a piece of nature for this week’s challenge, when I saw how the shadow of my roof almost perfectly framed the tables that we’ve set up in our backyard. We haven’t been using it much, but we’re…
Self-Portrait
Our prompt this week was to take a portrait that shows who others think we are. I was intrigued by this, because I consider myself to be a pretty private person. I wouldn’t take a plain selfie or portrait given this prompt; instead, I wanted to go more experimental showing bits and pieces of me…
Food
I was recently looking for a brand of low-calorie soda that wasn’t stuffed with artificial sweeteners up the wazoo, which is how I stumbled on Olipop. The company was certainly hopping on the whole “happy gut” health craze, but they carry flavors like Cola and Root Beer, which were exactly what I was looking for….
Using Props
This may be a bit confusing to comprehend at first, but it’s actually the inside of an umbrella stand that’s outside in our backyard. Since we’re getting closer and closer to summer break (and my moving out of the house for good), I want to spend more time utilizing the space I have in Mountain…
Deadly Sins
Since we’re staying at home much more often than before, our cat, Snickers, has been seeing a lot more of us. I don’t think she’s exactly psyched about it, but there was a weekend that my parents went on a trip and she kept sitting back the window. It’s been getting hotter, too, so she’s…
Current Events
The whole reason I switched electives at the end of last year was to make myself more available for acting projects, without having the threat of having to coordinate my own separate schedule with others, take care of my own equipment, and put together my own film. Thankfully, that mission has become a reality, as…
Depth of Field
I’m not sure exactly when it started, but I’ve begun collecting old postcards (from my parents or others) and taping them onto the back of my dresser, where it faces my desk. It started off a just a place to put them, but as I collect more and more, it’s started to feel more like…
Storm
It’s crazy how much the weather changes in March. One day it’ll be pouring down like nobody’s business, and the next, it’ll be a sunny clear afternoon. I missed a lot of the storms this month, but I noticed this cool swirling around the sun on what was otherwise a bright and sunny day, and…
Musical
One of my favorite passions, and one that I don’t really tend to talk about, is collecting old music in various physical forms. I really love the novelty of a physical disk or cassette that I can hold in my hand, especially with music streaming services becoming the main source of music for most people….
