The Future

This week we were challenged by the prompt “the future.” I absolutely love this photo that I took and edited of the sunset. I love how the (literal) sun is there, but also these bars that are in the shape of the sun. When I look at this picture, I feel inspired to do something …

Fooood

This week we were challenged to post a picture inspired by food. Speaking of challenges, this cake was just that! My little sister dreamed up her birthday cake for literally the entire year leading up to it. After discussing various (well, many, many) options, she landed on something – random, but fun. Here was her …

Current Events

This week we were challenged to take a photo representing current events. In the last couple of months, I have noticed how much prices have skyrocketed. Gas is over $5 a gallon and the Dollar Store is now the $1.25 store! I went to safeway and fruit was crazy expensive. Luckily, we have a produce …

Musical

This week we were challenged to take a musical photo. Melody, my youngest sister, is the most musical out of our family (her name is very fitting). She loves playing around on the piano in our kitchen! She’s practicing to play a song for my older sister, Robyn, when she comes back from Germany from …

Work.

This week we were encouraged to take a picture inspired by “work.” I work at Carl’s Jr, where there are many bright and beautiful colors. Since I work the morning shift (you can tell it’s still dark outside), it’s not very busy, so I had plenty of time to take a ton of experimental photos …

The Elements

This week we were challenged to take a photo inspired by the elements. The day I was brainstorming, it rain, which was perfect! I love the look of rain on flat surfaces, and so I began to play around with different pictures on different surfaces. This one ended up being my favorite. I love how …

What I’m Thankful For

As part of our rental contract, a gardener comes once a week to mow the lawn and make sure everything’s being nicely taken care of. He recently had to have knee surgery, and is no longer able to come for the time being. Even though it is important to remember to be grateful at all …

Who Inspires Me?

This week we got an interesting challenge: take a photograph to represent someone who inspires you. I instantly thought of a grandma, Maria, who works with me at Carl’s Jr. She left her family behind in El Salvador to work full time at Carl’s Jr. and a pizza place. Her sacrifice and dedication inspire me …

Habits

It’s very fitting that this week’s photoblog challenge is habits because Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” has been stuck in my head all week. While thinking about what I wanted to do for this challenge, I wandered into my room and saw my “clothing chair” and boom, just like that, the inspiration for the photo was …

Exit

This week, we were challenged to take a picture that reminds us of exit. I chose this picture because (most importantly), it was beautiful, and I also found that it reflected an exit of a season into a new one. I also took it at the school, which felt appropriate since we will be ending …
