Black and White

This week’s challenge was to take a photo in black and white of a subject of our choice. I chose to photograph this flower because it stood out from its dull surrounding plants, and I knew its white color would show brightly in the colorless photo.

This week’s photo challenge was to show the “concept of infinity” by using leading lines. I decided to photograph the keys of a Grand Piano, without showing their end, in order to make it seem like the keys went on forever. In addition, the concept of infinity may be applied to music, as there are infinite ways to write melodies and songs.

Love Story

This week’s challenge was to tell a love story in one image. I decided to take a picture of two rings, symbolic of love in marriage, left on the ground in a dirty space in order to represent a tragic love story.

Weight or Mass

This week’s challenge was to take a photograph with the inspiration of “heavy as stone, light as a feather”. I decided to take a picture of a plane when I was traveling because depending on you perceive it, planes may represent weightlessness in the air or heavy weight due to their actual mass.

Symmetry Landscape

Ocean Beach – Berkeley, CA

This week’s challenge was to take a photo representing symmetry in landscape. Since nature is never perfectly symmetrical, I decided to photograph the waves on the beach, to showcase how the lines of the sand and the waves may symbolically represent symmetry, as lines are symmetric.

Warmth

This photo represents something that gives me warmth: getting lunch and coffee with my best friend. The photo shows my best friend smiling at a table with food.
My Best Friend

This week’s challenge was to represent something that made us feel warm inside. I chose to photograph my best friend at our lunch date in order to represent the warmth I feel when spending time with her because it always lifts my mood.

Mood

This photo represents my mood of being spent. The photo shows a broken flower on the ground.

This week’s challenge was to represent your mood. I chose to photograph this broken flower in my backyard to represent my mood: spent. The broken petals represent my efforts I’ve spent and no longer have to put into something else.

Self-Portrait

My room decor – memories and photos

This week’s challenge was to take a self-portrait without showing oneself. In order to do so, I decided to take a photo of my room decor, which shows my ticket stubs, postcards and pictures from different events in my life. I felt that these were some important memories of mine that represented me as a person, without actually showing my face.
