Tell a Lie

Looking at this image you might think, “Wow, that photographer did a really great job capturing the beauty of those models in that image.” However, THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND THE CAMERA. I placed the camera on top of a mailbox and set a timer of 10 seconds to take a bunch of photos. Setting the …

Angles

As Marco and I trekked along the roads of Los Altos Hills, we ran into some funky circular mirrors. As we glanced upon these mirrors we thought it would be perfect for this photo blog. By tilting the camera and looking at our reflections, we could create distorted photos based on where and how we …

Stranger

Today I am going to tell the story of a stranger. You may assume that this man is your average hiker dad who stretches in the middle of the path, and while you may be right, there is a lot more to this man than you might assume. This man is the descendent of THE, …

Serenity

Most days I associate the word “serene” with my family group chat. My sister named our group chat this many years ago and that is how I first learned about the word. However, I feel the most serene when I am in nature. The beauty of nature has always been very calming for me. I …

I went to the beach with my friends Brad, Harry, and Marco. We were up around San Francisco just driving around and having fun looking at different areas, and we stopped at a beach to watch the sunset. I don’t remember which beach it was, but it had a beautiful view of the sunset and …

Negative Space

The top left photo is a picture of Marco’s grilled chicken Chick-Fil-A sandwich in front of beautiful scenery. This demonstrates the beauty of the sandwich as it coexists with nature’s beauty. The top right photo is Marco flaunting his power over his massive empire he has developed in California over multiple centuries. In the bottom …

Shadow

I went on an adventure with my buddy Marco. He had just gone to the gym and Chick-Fil-A and asked our group chat “Stock brokers possibly” if anyone wanted to hike. I had to get these photo blogs done so I told him I would go on a hike. We ended up walking around the …

Eye

For this assignment, we needed to use a rare lens that only design students possess (aka the macro lens). And so, I embarked on an adventure to secure a macro lens from my neighbor who happens to be a design student. I obtained the lens after an intense fight to the death and proceeded to …
