Trash

under water, trash used as the fish habitat.

This is a picture of the habitat for some fish at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. Many things are dumped into the ocean, and that trash becomes part of the fishes habitat. In this small aquarium, they tried to replicate what it’s like in the ocean. Junk can provide hiding places for many creatures.Some pieces of trash that get left in the ocean that are shown in this photo is a cone, a tire, sunglasses, a mini blow up soccer ball, a water bottle, snorkeling gear, jars, and more. In this image, my aperture was f4, my shutter speed was 1/20, and ISO1600.

Balance in Holiday Tradition

my mom in front of our Christmas tree.

One of our holiday traditions is putting up out 4-foot fake Christmas tree every year for Christmas. The ornaments on the tree have added up over the years. The heart in the bottom left corner is a science project I made in 6th grade, but the other ornaments are pretty recent. My mom is smiling at the tree because Christmas time and the winter break is always a happy time for our family. The aperture on this photo is f4, shutter speed is 1/16, and ISO 3,200.

Leading Lines

under da sea

I passed by this huge glass window into the water depths and wanted to capture this photo. This is a photo of kelp and fish behind glass with a black symmetrical structure. It shows the concept of infinity because you can’t see where the black lines end and you cant see how far the aquarium goes. It took a while to capture this photo because it was really beautiful and everybody wanted to stop and admire the view. For this image, the aperture was F7.1, shutter speed was 1/64, and ISO400.

Love Story

my mom enjoying her home

My parents rebuilt our house about 10 years ago, designing and decorating everything on their own. My mom really has an eye for detail, so since we’ve had this house, she’s constantly adding more decorations, plants, and pillows. Every single thing you see in this photo, she picked herself. Every morning when she wakes up, she tells me how grateful she is for our beautiful home. In this photo, the aperture is F4.5, shutter speed is 1/40, and ISO200.

Weight or Mass

a brass tree just standing alone
tree of life

Outside of the library in Oro Valley, Tuscon, I ran into this huge brass tree. There’s a big contrast between this brass sculpture and the nature behind it, but the brass sculpture also tried to resemble the nature, I think it’s really interesting. In the image, the aperture is F9, shutter speed is 1/165, and ISO is 100.

Symmetry Landscape

looking through a tunnel
tunnel vision

Outside of my friends house, there is a tunnel that leads out onto the street. This photo is really interesting because there is this man-made tunnel that is symmetrical, and they tried to add the same things on each side to also make it symmetrical; rows of bushes inside the tunnel and trees on the outside of the tunnel, but nature does its own thing, so the bushes and trees on either side look different from each other. In this photo, the aperture is F9, shutter speed 1/165, and ISO is 100.

Self-Portrait

A picture of me in my room with a painting of Rick from a show called Rick & Morty covering my face. The painting over my face is filled with a bunch of crazy patterns.
Rick with some crazy patterns

For this weeks assignment, I chose to cover my face with a canvas I painted of a character from a show I like; Rick from Rick & Morty. This image takes place in my room because my room is a big space that really expresses me, and it’s somewhere where I spend a lot of time. The canvas I covered my face with shows both my artistic side and my crazy side, because the fact that I painted it, and because this painting expresses what my thoughts in my head are like sometimes.
