What is inspiring to me about the future is I get to go onto college and factory reset my connections and my reputation in my new community because no one will know who I am yet. But before moving onto the phase, I cannot forget about my high school classmates I have had amazing moments…

Frame within the Frame
I was at a harbor when I saw a small boat drive around, and it was near where I was standing where there was a bench. I took advantage of this opportunity to use the bench as the “frame” of the photo to get this natural looking composition instead of using an artificial picture frame….
Food
My mom got a nice beef ham sandwich from work, along with some potato chips. I arranged them on a sheet of the sandwich wrapper and got a nice picture of it. This is significant in my life, because my mom always has a big snack ready for me everyday I come home from school.
Modern Convenience
A modern convenience that I have is a computer, especially the iMac I borrowed from Freestyle Academy. When I just joined Freestyle, I only had access to a Chromebook, which could barely run an application, but after getting this iMac I could make so many projects, and I still use Adobe After Effects on there…
Current Events
I got the opportunity to take photos of an event at the Democratic Volunteer Center to see Sam Liccardo talk about modern events such as the war at Iran and leading his team to solve problems. Some of my friends have met him in the past so it was nice seeing him in person. For…
Viewpoint
I attended one of my school events where I helped to take lots of photos for their gallery. One of these photos I got was during breakfast, where there was a whole buffet of delicious bread, fruits, and desserts. I decided to get this photo in the point of view of a hungry student patiently…
Musical
This was one of the few photographs where I used my telephoto lens to get a detailed picture from far away. I went to one of my brother’s concerts and got many photos including close ups of many performers and some overall wider shots from far away. Originally, I was going to get a photo…
Color Theory
125mm f/6.3 1/200 ISO 2000 I had several images I took at San Francisco that I wanted to do some color grading for, but I decided to choose the Chinatown Subway Station. This station looked relatively new and also looks pretty futuristic compared to most American metro stations, so I wanted to color grade it…
Small vs. Large
This is a forced perspective photo that I took at the park near San Francisco International Airport. There’s a park nearby the airport where you could watch planes take off (see image below). My brother and I used the long camera lens to shoot some planes, and it was really cool to see them in…
Low Angles
I decided to take a risk by going in the middle of the street to get this low angle shot of the yellow lines heading towards the vanishing point. Luckily this street is not busy and there’s practically almost no cars at this time of the day, so I was able to pull it off….
