A landscape photograph of a Cal Poly San Louis Obispo pennant placed in a bush. The pennant is largely emerald green with a small section of yellow near the straight edge that has the Cal Poly logo and the words "Cal Poly" in white serif text. The body of the pennant has the words "Learn by doing" that get narrower down the body to match the triangle shape. The words "Learn" and "Doing" are in white text; The word "By" is written in yellow.

For this photo, we were asked to photograph something exciting or inspiring about our future. As I will be going to college next year, it felt like an obvious choice. Although it’s a bit simple, taking a photo of my college’s pennant felt like a good way to get a message across. I decided to make it a bit more interesting by finding a nice way to set it up. I decided to place it in some plants. Hiking is very popular at Cal Poly SLO, so the plants represent my excitement for that activity as well as provide a nice green background to match the colors. I will be studying Art & Design with an emphasis in Graphic Design, and am very excited to learn even more new skills and meet tons of new people!
