Stranger

When I took this photo, I was in Digital Media when we were practicing how to use the camera in the Tv mode. Since this was the beginning of the year, I didn’t know that many people at Freestyle or didn’t know them that well. I took this photo just messing around and thought it

Angles

For this blog I wanted to capture a unique view where I peered through the sandstone walls of the Stanford Quad and saw the scaffolding. This created an interesting angle to shoot as we can see the work being done on the already existing structure.

Rule of Odds

For this photo blog we had to take a photo of multiple of objects in the odds amount.I found that I could do this by focusing on one object but still having two more in the background just as it is in this photo with the lemons in my backyard.

Holiday Traditions

With this photo, I was completing the prompt of “Balance of Holiday Traditions” which I personally took as Christmas which I celebrate with my family. I specifically viewed the ornaments because that is my favorite part of the holiday which is decorating the tree with family.

Water

I took this photo in my restroom all fogged up to represent how that water can be a way to see your reflection but can also be the same thing that blocks your view. Water can be versatile, so it is important to accept your surrounds, but you can also change your surroundings to change
