    Self Portrait

    May Week 1 As Juniors, we were tasked for our first photo blog to take a self portrait without our physical presence. Back then I thought perfect, being a shy, introverted junior. However since then, I have also learned how to set a timer with a DSLR camera, and truth be told it was fun closing my eyes and trying to picture how I appeared to the outside world. And while my essence hasn’t changed, my hair color has. And the color that still best represents me is pink.

    Modern Convenience

    April Week 1 The modern convenience I cannot live without is plastic. It dominates our existence, intoxicates our food and bodies, it is what we dress and eat. I cannot imagine the world of before. It encapsulates so much of what we do and use that it seems strange that there be something better than plastic. It almost seems too good to be true.

    Deadly Sins

    March Week 1 Of the 7 Deadly Sins, I chose to depict pride. This is because our society causes for pride and vanity to flourish. And the sense of accomplishment to turn into bragging rights which can turn into an unfounded sense of superiority. futhermore, social media allows for it to seem as if the world is a competition. With what you’re able to do to have fun to what you accomplish.

    Film Noir

    Febuary Week 3 For this week we were prompted to create a film noir image. I chose to depict the after moments of death. the body was buried, and hands were dried of bloody bits. now no evidence is left. I always thought I was the savior but maybe I was actually the villain.

    Color without Color

    November Week 1 This week we were tasked with creating a colorful story in black and white. I was captivated by this little turtle my parents got for me. The light shining makes it seem translucent. all the more it makes it seem full of life. It always looked like it was about to swim off into the distance and with this shot, it looks like it is swimming underwater. This makes me be able to picture the blues and greens surrounding the little turtle overhead.

    friends & family

    October Week 1 This week’s prompt was to tell the story of a friend or family. I chose to do both, since they are so intertwined! 2020 was year experienced many losses. They were all very unexpected and shocking. Still, to remember them, we bought a little ghost balloon to remember them. By showing my sister’s stricken face I hoped to convey her sadness. The ghost balloon is to represent friends and family members that have passed away.

    Your Culture

    September Week 1 Many ask for miracles but many more look at her through lens of love. She is like a rock that unites everyone when the time comes. In my culture, if there is a day to be religious it is on December 12th. It is the birthday of Jesus’s mother, who we call La Virgen de Guadalupe. It is because of her role as a mother that everyone can relate to her. They can sympathize her suffering, feel loved, or simply be inspired by her.

    Freedom

    May Week 1 Freedom is when you are free to choose but it is also knowing when you need guidance. You may not see wisdom in the moment, even so, life will make sure to push you in the right direction. Same way as birds push their young off so that my spread their own wings to fly.  You may later find them looking to the distance resting, or could it be – tittering over their long gone young.
