Fractured
50mm, f 2, ISO 6400, 1/165 I look at this photo and I can feel the present panic of dropping and shattering the phone. I can hear the loud, sharp, thud as it hits the ground, and the unmistakable dread as I pick it up gently to check the state of the screen. It’s is…

Stranger
50mm, f 5.6, ISO 100, 1/800 M: what do you think they are doing at the top of the hill? Z: what if they’re part of a cult and they’re praying to the sky god. M: what?? Z: they’re a part of a cult and they’re praying to their god of the sky. M: what…

Serenity
50mm, f8, ISO 100, 1/1250 These clouds feel so serene. They look the clouds I used to draw at the top of my page in light blue lumps. The clouds that sat on the white paper along with the straight line of bright green grass and quarter of a sun in the upper corner.

Aging
50mm, f2.8, ISO 500, 1/200 This is our fish tank. Usually my sister takes care of it. Within there’s an entirely different ecosystem from the kitchen it sits in. Every time I stop by and watch, I wonder about the lives of the fish. What are their thoughts? Memories? Do they know they are in…

Golden Hour
50mm, f5, ISO 2,500, 1/4096 This cloud kind of reminds me of a pretty tornado. As if the sun was being swept up in the wispy wind along with the fluffy clouds.

Negative space
50mm, f 4.5, ISO 1250, 1/512 I took this photo out of the little screen window on our door. It’s not a very practical implement. I think it’s supposed to function as a peephole, but it has a miniature door on the inside that creaks and screams every time you try to open it. I…

New Beginnings
50mm, f1.8, ISO 125, 1/15 I realize that the large majority of my day, week, and month, I know what’s coming next. I know my schedule. I know my calendar. I know the events, and usually I know exactly how they will go. I’m a junior in high school, in the later months of the…

i love pizza
50mm, f2.8, ISO 4000, 1/160 My brother outside his favorite pizzeria, Capo’s. I took this center frame portrait on a rainy afternoon during our walk up to Coit Tower from the restaurant. He really likes pizza.

Water
50mm, f1.625, ISO 6400, 1/80 The prompt for this photo blog was simply ‘water’. Instead of photographing water itself, I wanted to show how water interacts with other objects. I feel like the refraction of light that water causes is so interesting, arbitrary, and beautiful. Combining this with the saturated red and shiny silver, I…

Holiday balance
50mm, f3.375, ISO 100, 1/195 For this photo blog, we were asked to compose balance through holiday traditions. To do this, I created unity through the equality of visual draw. The menorah in focus draws your eyes despite being smaller, and the close menorah balances this draw with unfocused light.
