a site to keep all my cool stuff
I loved this prompt, there are so many beautiful flowers in my backyard and around my neighborhood, and I love any excuse to just wander around and look at them. This is one of the roses in my backyard. I really like how these roses have like 2 colors. They are yellowish on the inside with a bit of pink on the edge of the petals.
I took a picture of a stranger walking through the annex. I like how the trees frame them, and they are in light and the background is in shadow.
This is a photo I took of a agave plant in my grandma’s backyard. It represents aging because you can see the older fronds drying up at the bottom, and the newer ones at the top.
For this one I took a picture of my brothers shadow looking tall and scary. Look at his hand! It reminds me of every Tim Burton movie.
I was going for a walk, looking for pretty flowers or plants to take a picture of for the “new beginnings” photo blog, when I discovered a bee buzzing around some pink flowers. My mom, who was with me said: “its new bee-ginnings!” and we couldn’t stop laughing about it.
For my Speed Light photo blog, I took multiple photos of a Santa sleigh Christmas decoration. For the first photo, I pointed the flash directly at Santa, which made him very bright. For the second and third ones, I pointed the flash to the right and left, bouncing the light off the walls for softer lighting. For the last one I pointed it up and used the diffuser.
I took this photo on the beach in LA while visiting my aunt, I thought it looked really cool because of the extreme fiery red color and the silhouette of the pier against it.
For the prompt, “sports stories” I took a picture of my dad shooting a basket into an arcade style hoop. This picture tells an interesting story because of the juxtaposition between the subject and the setting. The basketball hoops and park setting invoke childhood memories while the man throwing the ball is an adult. Perhaps the viewer can connect to the story of indulging your inner child for a bit.
This is a photo of my sketchbook and a pen, it represents me because I draw in it all the time, and bring it everywhere. It has been to all the places I have been and seen all the things I’ve seen. The fact that it is a little messy represents how my brain can be a little scattered sometimes, but still can have good ideas inside.
