Being inspired by current events in the world today, I chose this photo taken in Thailand. I was at this beautiful intricate temple, with everyone staring and taking photos of it, and when walking out there these homes. It reminded me of the current issue of the wealth gap in the US today, and how…

Musical
For the prompt of showing how music is part of the soul, I went to a small record store and photographed their old-school speakers with the rapper figurines in front of them. I thought that the top three speakers kind of looked like a face which I also liked. The store had such a unique…
Small Vs. Large Juxtapose
For the prompt of juxtaposing small vs large items in a photo, I chose to make it look like my mom is a small floating head talking in my sister’s ear while she looks annoyed. I chose this because I thought it was a funny and creative approach. The only edits I made were cropping…
The elements
For the prompt of taking an inspirational photo of one of the elements, I chose to light a paper on fire that said “The Words I Never Said”. My idea for this is that you should let go of the past, and I think fire is a perfect representation of new beginnings. My camera settings…

Trash
Given the prompt of trash, I decided I would go to an abandoned house on my street. While exploring I found this chair and speakers. I arranged the speakers around the chair and brought the little side table to match the cabinet. To me, this photo tells the story of a life well lived ending…
Anonymous
f 1/50, ISO 1600 With the open prompt of anonymous, I chose to take pictures of a friend covering his face. I chose the library because I think that books are somewhat anonymous because you see their title but you have to open them up and read them to know them, the same way where…
Water
ISO32, f1.8, 1/600 We were given water for this week’s prompt, and how it is precious and beautiful. It was raining that week and as I got home, the grass in my front lawn looked like it was sparking with all the thousands of water droplets, so I hurried to take a photo. I love…
