Photo Blog Forty-Two: Work

Crafted model of Mission

When I browsed through the gift shop inside Old Mission Santa Barbara, my eye was caught by a display of handicrafts, including this miniature sculpture. As a younger child I loved making crafts and was inspired by watching YouTube videos sharing the process of creating clay trinkets that were miniatures of food and such. After taking Architecture class, I also built small, accurate-scale models of a playground and the interior frame of a home. Projects like the one in my photo awe me because I admire all the work and care that its craftsmaker put into creating the tiny details that make it unique. I took this photo using a shutter speed of 1/40, aperture of 4.5, and ISO of 800.
