This was taken at a school scrimmage for my lacrosse team at LAHS, I really like how the bars in the helmet contrast with the background to create a true silhouette.

I took this photo in Palo Alto, and I really like how the colors look in this photo. The way the green and the blue and the red blends in, it feels like something from a 90’s film.

I took this photo in San Francisco, it was really hot and sunny and also pretty humid deep in San Francisco’s China Town. The red colors were vibrant and contrasting to the dull colors of the majority of San Francisco. I really like how the composition turned out. It may be bias but I can see the color despite the photo being black and white, this is really cool to me because its like those color assimilation grid illusion’s.

This photo is taken in Byxbee park in Palo Alto California, I took it during a walk and I liked how the bench was sitting alone in a way, looking over the vast plains and looking into the horizon. It looks like its waiting for someone to sit with it, and join it on its pondering session.

I took this photo in LA with my dad, this photo reminds me of my two brothers whom I used to play with on the beaches in Australia. This is exactly what we would do, dig holes and rivers to fill up our holes with water.

I took this photo in Monterey which reminded me of my culture in Australia as this is a bird that looks common to a lot of birds found in Australia. The water reflecting is a childhood memory of mine, and I can connect it with my culture as an Australian.

I took this photo in Santa Cruz, i love how i could see the people on their bikes in the water, and tried to capture their reflections nicely. I like how all the people are evenly spaced and we see their silhouettes.

I took this photo in my backyard, my family recently moved house and the owners of the house we are renting are landscapers and have really beautiful plants and the garden is very green and I wanted to take a photo of this plant before the owners removed it because it was overgrowing.
