Frame within the Frame
The path and the plants on the sides sort of frame the photo. Do you agree?
Creative Staged + Depth of Field
I realize now that I failed pretty badly at doing this one. But here is my attempt nonetheless.
Viewpoint
You know, when I read the details for this photo blog (well I guess I didn’t) I thought it meant to take a picture of an actual viewpoint. Now I realize it’s about perspective and taking a photo from someone else’s perspective. Welp, enjoy this lookout??
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 …
Geometry
If you are coming for the Flowers photo blog, you will realize that this photo is the context behind the story recounted there. In Evan’s hand is a volleyball. But wait, is it just a volleyball? No, no it is not. The ball is a sphere. Now you may be wondering, what is so noteworthy …
Angles

The top right photo is Marco flaunting his power over his massive empire he has developed in California over multiple centuries. In the bottom …
Center Frame Portrait
For this center frame portrait, I took a Totoro stuffed animal from my desk and placed him amongst the trees. I did this because, in the film, Totoro lives in a giant tree, so I thought I could do the same with a stuffed animal. This image works best with Totoro in the center because …
Balance in Holiday Traditions
For this holiday-themed photo, I took a picture of our Christmas display near our front door. The blocks are a staple of this table year round, however, right now they say “holidays together” which my dad assembled since our family is reunited for Christmas break. The knitted trees on the right are products of my …
