Inspiration

  • Who Inspires You

    For this prompt, we had to a take a picture capturing what inspires us. I chose to take a picture of my bedroom wall, because it is covered from top to bottom in the things that bring me the most artistic joy in the world. My bedroom wall captures myself well, from displaying my own… Read more

  • Reflection

    For this prompt, we had to capture a reflection of some kind. I noticed an incredible reflective display in downtown Mountain View and couldn’t not take a few snapshots of the sight. My first thought upon seeing the display was that it was for some sort of aquarium, due to the shapes in the glass… Read more

  • Exit

    For this prompt, we had to be inspired by “exit”. The prompt also stated that “an exit is an entry to somewhere else”, so I kept that in mind when choosing this photo. In the end, I thought this image of a beaming bright sun outside the parking lot of Cuesta Park perfectly encapsulated that.… Read more

I edited the photograph to have a sun like symbol in her very large dilated pupil to… Read more

  • Water

    For this prompt, we had to photograph something to do with water. I decided to photograph one of the water fountains at Cuesta Park. I thought capturing the simplicity of the water fountain would help highlight water’s importance. A lot of people overlook water fountains in places like parks, but the desperate search I had… Read more

  • Weight or Mass

    For today’s prompt, we had to “find inspiration in heaviness or lightness”. As a result, I turned to my birdhouse. Since my birdhouse is constantly being hung up by a thin wire, I thought it fit the prompt. It also often carries heavy things (I.E, birds) so it made sense for it to be pictured… Read more

  • Mood

    For this prompt, we had to take a picture that embodied our current mood. I chose to photograph one of my jelly gouache capsules being opened by a mechanical pencil for a few reasons. The main one was that I had been struggling to pursue my creative endeavors and felt torn about it throughout the… Read more
