This picture indeed has #NoFilter. Back last fall where there were a bunch of fires happening all around the state of California, based off the wind direction, the smoke all flowed into the Bay Area creating this super cool and unique orange haze across the whole sky. And as I’m sure everyone else did, my …
Negative space photography, this week’s assignment, has to be one of my favorite compositional techniques. I believe it allows you to see the bigger picture of an area without having too many complex objects interfering with one another. It’s minimalistic and pleasing. So, for this week’s assignment, I decided to head over to Westwind which …
This week, we were instructed to make a compelling story out of a shadow. And for me, what better object to choose than a basketball hoop. Basketball is my favorite sport not only to play, but also of all time. Whenever I get a couple minutes of free time in between classes or at lunch …
The challenge for this week was simply ‘anonymous.’ We were given complete freedom and interpretation to what this meant and how we wanted to display it. For me, when I hear the word Anonymous, I quickly think about the infamous hacking group that is known for leaking government information among many other things. But obviously, …
This week, we were challenged to take a center framed portrait that allows the audience to feel a feeling of loneliness. This assignment took quite a long time to get. Initially when I asked if my mom to look lonely, well, that didn’t go too well. Anyways, me and my buddies often play poker and …

One of the most obvious yet beautiful circular patterns we see every year throughout our lifetime is the change between seasons. New plants grow, old ones die off, leaves turn different colors, but in …
The inspiration for this week’s blog is trash. Trash is a really huge problem and I have a couple things to say about it. Trash is completely degrading and ruining our planet. We have close to 8 billion people on this earth and almost every person is guilty of adding to the amount of waste …
This week, we were challenged to take a Balanced Accidental Renaissance style photo. Renaissance art is pretty unique and has a very particular style to it. I’ve never really taken an art class that really goes deep into renaissance art, so I picked out one of my Mom’s books from college that specifically focuses on …
Los Altos, California. My little hometown located in the technology hub of the world, Silicon Valley, and the place home to the house that Steve Jobs created Apple in. String lights illuminate the sidewalks, many small businesses, and very few namebrand companies surround the minimal amount of streets. Un-ironically, I spend most of my time …
For this photo, we were given inspiration to take a beautiful black and white photograph. Unlike some people, I really like rain. The sound of the rain coming down on the roof of my house, or even as it’s raining on me is one of the nicest feelings. It’s super calming. Anyways, when I woke …
