This is a silhouette photo of the neighborhood behind Imai Elementary School, the elementary school that I went to. I took this photo when it was cold and slightly raining outside, not the best time to do it, but a decently high photographic sensitivity and slower shutter speed helped emphasize the silhouettes of the trees…

Color Without Color
After we finished reading 1984 in our English Class, I took out all of my sticky note annotations so that I could return the book for the next person. I saw how colorful the pile of sticky notes were as I didn’t stick with a single color of sticky notes and decided to take a…
Gratitude
Something that I am grateful for is the huge amounts of food, juice, and sauces that my parents buy for me. These all sit in the closet under the stairs. While editing this photo in Adobe Photoshop, I added a warm tint to give the nice feeling of family and plentiness.
Who Inspires You
One of my friends who inspires me is Carl. He has a big sense of humor and is such a fun person for me to talk to. I was at the MVHS Homecoming Float build site, where I took photos of people building the float and then donate those photos to the yearbook team. During…
Friends

Our dumpling making process starts off by having a machine turn our dough into dumpling wrappers, while we make the chive and pork filling. With the wrappings and the filling, my family and I get together and fold the dumplings. This image…

I took several pictures of his face, and edited the best looking one in Adobe Photoshop to make his face symmetrical. In the image above, you can see the comparison…
Flowers
Near the science quad of Mountain View High School, there are a lot of flower beds with different colored flowers, like pink, purple, and orange. I decided to experiment taking photos of different flowers, until I got this photo of orange flowers with some light coming in from the diagonal direction. Then, I uploaded this…
Geometry
Geometry refers to geometric shapes like rectangles, or generally shapes with straight edges with corners. When it comes to geometry, I think about architecture, like the shapes of a building. For this geometry photo blog, I decided to take a worm’s eye view photo of a building in Mountain View High School. Then, I went…
Angles
When it comes to angles, one of my favorite angles to shoot in, is the worm’s eye view, where the vanishing point is in the sky. I went online for some inspiration, and one of them that got my attention was the worm’s eye view photography for trees. When I was walking around, I saw…
