Inspiration

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…

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…

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.

For our one of our September Photo Blogs, we were challenged to express our current mood through photography. Today, I feel overwhelmed and a bit unbalanced because of all of the responsibilities that I have. I have to study for my upcoming tests, prepare for the SAT exam, help out with my family, and start…
