This photo blog is one of the more interesting ones. My good friend Mason decided to be my subject for this facial symmetry photo blog. 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…

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…

In this photo however, rather than using leading lines to direct the audience, I used the leading lines to explore the concept of infinity. Here, I…

For this photo blog, we were challenged to find a landscape that was symmetrical, or in other words, both halves of the photo are identical. When I was taking a walk, I found these 3 tall redwood trees, with some red trees on the bottom, along with an about equal amount of trees on the…
