This weeks photo challenge was to tell a story using film noir. Film noir is a filter often used in crime movies and other genres that evoke a dark and moody vibe. I chose to use this photo that I took of this baby deer leg that had been caught and eaten. I thought this photo was perfect for the theme as it is definitely a mystery and there is also some sadness and darkness as this animal used to be alive and living. I think it especially ties it in since the bone seemed to be somewhat fresh as you can see the little hairs and the hoof is…

This weeks photo challenge was to capture a picture in an advertising-like style of some piece of technology that we could not live without. I chose to capture this image of my friends car (I was not driving), to represent cars. Being able to travel at such faster speeds than a bike or running or a horse and carriage, I think I couldn’t live without cars. For me cars also provide a sense of freedom and an escape. I love getting out of the house and just going on drives especially to viewpoints to take pictures and take in the fresh air. I chose to take this picture during sunset…

This weeks photo challenge was to tell the story of seasons through an image. I took this image up at the top of Westwind Preserve where the barn is. Capturing the rich saturation of color in the leaves that are slowly dying you see some of them are red while others are yellow and some even brown. Some branches have more leaves on it to keep it warm while others have much fewer. This tells the story of fall, as the leaves start to change colors and die and fall off the tree until it is bare for winter.

This weeks photo challenge was to tell a story through a photograph, but without color. For my image having no color actually fit very well, as the skies were cloudy. I think this tells the story of the sky in a way as it is cloudy and dark and kinda sad. I chose to also include the telephone poles and wires to help one better perceive the photo as the sky is endless. The telephone pole stabilizes that thought. I chose to take this at an upward angle with me down on the street as I thought it added a more interesting story and perspective to look at.

This weeks photo challenge was to tell the story of a friend or family member in a picture. Here is one of my friends, Eddie, I walk him and his sister Judy every day. I chose to use this picture of Eddie as this is what I would say best describes him, it is his favorite thing to do, and he will do it on anyone. Usually he likes to chew his ball on my foot but in this picture he was on my leg, making it easier to get a good picture of his cute face! Eddie is super friendly and loving, but that ball, oh I think he…

I chose to represent my culture by this photo of me outside on the grass in Foothills Park. This is a park super close to my house that is just beautiful. I love going there to spend time outside with fresh air and feel the sunshine on my skin. I always end up taking millions of photos there because it is just so pretty and has such amazing light. This represents my culture because I like to spend time outside and bond with my friends. This picture embodies that as well as the amazing color and light shown through the leaves.
