The Elements

I feel like sometimes Earth gets a bad wrap when it comes to “the elements.” Strictly speaking from Avatar the Last Airbender, people always pick water, fire, or wind. Never once have I heard someone pick Earth. So here I am, giving Earth some love. Shout out Toph.

Low Angles

I thought this was an awesome picture. This was in NYC when I went with Evan for the All American Film Festival. We got to see this cool looking pinecone looking structure and the surrounding buildings were equally as incredible. I think this low angle shot really captures the grandeur of the city and makes …

Silhouettes

Just me and Marco again. As you can tell, Marco is a relaxed dude. I should go another hike with Marco, that was fun. Maybe in second semester photo blogs there will be a return of Nate and Marco.

Gratitude

Your Culture

As a mixed child, both Irish and Chinese, it is hard to capture a photo of my culture. However, I believe our Christmas tree is a good representation of our different life experiences, almost a culmination of cultures. Looking at the ornaments on a Christmas tree, I think you can learn about my family and …
