This week, we were challenged to use our tripod and camera self-timer to take a photo of ourselves. The prompt was to take a photo of ourself in a pose that shows how others see us. I found a nice green background and took this photo. I am a very friendly and loving person, and …
This week, we told a story of a modern convenience we can’t live without. I chose to represent electricity, since it’s one of the harder modern conveniences to live without. Without electricity, it would mean no lights, no heat, no microwave, no desktop computers, and worst of all, no WiFi! My neighborhood occasionally shuts off …
I took this photo to illustrate the story of one of the “deadly sins:” Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed and Sloth. I chose gluttony and took this photo of a hand reaching for some red berries. The berries represent a “forbidden fruit” of sorts with their warning red color. They are so tempting, just …
Film noir is a generally darker style, and our prompt this week was to tell a story in this style. I took a photo of the Rengstorff House, which learned has a pretty dark but interesting history. A group of (slightly insane) friends decided they wanted to buy this house, but were short some money, …
This week, we were supposed to take a long exposure photo at night that celebrates the New Year.

This week we told stories with silhouettes. I took this photo of my siblings on the swings and then edited it in Photoshop to give it a slightly vintage look. This photo tells a story of childhood. The homes in the background give the feel of suburbia, and the grainy blue of the sky gives …
This week, we took a photo and converted it to grayscale in order to tell a colorful story without using any color. In this photo, even without color we can see the different values of what would normally be very colorful- bright and sparkling in the sun to attract tourists. The grey of this photo …
For this prompt, we were asked to take a photograph that tells the story of someone we know well. I took this photo of my mom to tell a part of her story. My mom is on the sunny side of this bridge, which shows how my mom is optimistic. She is looking out on …
For this prompt, I chose to photograph a plate of caprese salad. It’s a simple Italian dish that I love having as a side to other meals. A lot of my family’s culture is handed down in the food we eat. When I visit extended family, the gatherings are always centered in the kitchen. I …
This photo tells a story of freedom in many ways. There are multiple American flags in the photo, reminding us of all the veterans that bravely fought and died for our freedom. Death is also, in a sense, freedom from the worries and suffering in this world. I think this photo turned out well. I …
