Musical
In this photo I took the inspiration behind the ukulele as my muse. I played the ukulele for a short time as a child but it was a fun experience because it fit my size well and made beautiful music. I wanted to honor this memory and honor the people that have taken the time to master a unique instrument.

Film Noir
To me, this is an excellent representation of the stylistic choice of Film Noir. The almost monochromatic coloring of the image matched with the feeling of helplessness and meekness in the photo mark some of the choices and styles of Film Noir: monochrome and moody, emotional imagery.

Viewpoint
This picture I took was intended to be from the perspective of a small bug as it watches the world go by. It adds an interesting feeling and perspective to the picture because it’s a low shot and brings detailing both to the subject and the background.

Modern Convenience
In this photo I wanted to honor a commonly used appliance that we have taken for granted often: the fridge. It allows us to store foods for longer than its shelf life which allows us more freedom to choose what to eat rather than having to immediately eat the food prepared or bought. This modern convenience is very important in our daily lives and its something that not everyone has access to.

The Elements
In this photo I wanted to combine two elements that are codependent together in one frame: water and earth. Water helps the earth grow and prosper while the earth stores the water until its needed.

Seasons
This photo was taken on Cuesta Road and represents the changing of seasons. You can see the various changes in the seasons through the wide variety of colors of the leaves. Additionally, you can still see the season changing from autumn to winter with some trees having lost all their leaves.

Gratitude
For this week, we were asked to take a photo of something that we were grateful for. I am grateful for the childhood I had. It was chaotic and beautiful and brings back many joyous memories that have shaped me into who I am today. This image of a playground set is what I think of when I think of my childhood back in Maryland.

Rules of Thirds Emotion
I believe this pictures shows a good use of the rules of thirds in conveying adulthood. The colors cast dark shadows on my Dad, drawing attention to him using those colors.

Color Without Color
This picture was taken a while ago by my boyfriend (using my own directions and settings) as an experiment with overlaying images and using black and white. This image is meant to convey a story of repression and being trapped. It is accomplished by the overlaid image in conjunction with my own facial emotion.

Who Inspires You
My dad is an inspiration to me. He inspires and encourages me to go above and beyond, to grow and become greater than him so I can raise a child to do the same.
