in our weekly photo blog, one of our challenges is to take photos that implement compositional techniques in photography.
This is my mom. She is the coolest person I have ever met. She is being framed by a door. My mom’s office is right through the kitchen. A mom of four, she never gets a break. She is always right in the center of all the activity in the house. When the door is […]
I made this book sculpture in middle school, and to date, it is one of the art projects I have had the most fun making. It is so random and useless and cute and I love it. Miniature things are so awesome. They serve absolutely no purpose but to make me feel all warm and […]
My dad’s friend Peter is awesome. He is an entrepreneur and magician and 3D printer enthusiast. He made this 3D printed version of himself and gave it to my dad for his birthday. The level of detail is crazy; it always looks like there is a little elf or borrower sitting on our bookshelves. In […]
In honor of Valentine’s Day, here is a picture of a traffic cone. <3 Playing with perspective in photography is so fun.

This view is a ten minute drive from my house. Can you believe that? I can’t. Nature is everywhere. All encompassing. Full. Can you see it? Me too.
If Mya sees this she will kill me. Hi Mya! Love you lots! There was a TikTok filter that did this exact thing. It split your face into two perfectly symmetrical faces. My self esteem has never plummeted so quickly ;). But in all seriousness, I’m really done with filters and this kind of photo […]
More pool pictures to show off my lovely models. Hey look! A circle! and some rectangles which are cut off to form a trapezoid on the left and a pentagon on the right! Wow! The bubbles look so interesting in this photo. You can only really see the brighter reflections in pink and green; they […]
