Future

I think what I am most excited for in the future is traveling. I am also very excited to attend Vanderbilt University next year and study special education and human and organizational development, but when I am not busy doing that, I am excited to travel! I saved up money by working to go to …

Inspired By Food

I decided to use this picture I took for my birthday lunch! My friends surprised me on Christmas Eve (my birthday). The restaurant was nicely decorated, and the food was so good! I especially like this picture because it reminds me of my kind friends who I am inspired by every day, and I feel …

Current Events

I decided to take this prompt more metaphorically and thought that rain with a rainbow in the background can represent current events in our country. There is a lot of political tension right now, ongoing wars, and mental health struggles in our nation (the rain). Still, despite this, there is still hope that things will …

Musical

I decided to choose this image to represent something “musical.” I recently went to a concert in San Francisco, where I saw “Galantis” perform, as well as other DJ’s.

Small Versus Large

This image juxtaposes small versus large. The size of my hand would not actually be able to encapsulate the size of the sun; instead, I did this with my hand to create the illusion that it could. I found it interesting that I can use my camera skills to take pictures that contradicts reality!

The Elements: Fire

When asked to take a photo that represent’s one of the Earth’s elements, I decided to choose fire. I chose this picture because I love going down to the beach with my friends and making fires to stay warm. Whether I go up to Santa Cruz with my family or to Half Moon Bay with …

Gratitude

One thing I am grateful for in my life is my dog Tiger! I have had Tiger for about 13 years now and I love him so much. He is a goldendoodle, and I am grateful he has been in my family since I lived in Boston. I have two other dogs, Pompom and Henry …

A Reflection

I chose this image because the trees and background vegetation are reflected in this lake. This image was taken when driving up into the hills. I enjoy this image because it captures a sense of calmness and serenity. Walking around this nature preserve and taking images of the nature around me provides a sense of …

Exit

I chose this image of a street/path because I think it represents people coming and going. I can interpret the theme of “exiting” as new beginnings; I think this path shows people leaving one place and heading somewhere new.
