Category: Inspiration
In our weekly photo blog, one of the weekly challenges was to take photos of things, people, or places that inspire us.
Current Events
This week’s photo blog prompt is current events. This is a photo of a flag in my neighborhood showing support for Ukraine.
Musical
The sound of the wind blowing through this art installation as well as the moving colors reminded me of music.
Work
This week’s photo prompt was to take a picture inspired by “work”. Instead, this photograph represents the absence of work. Taken over a break in a cabin up near Arnold, this photograph shows a moment of peace away from work. Work can be incredibly draining but it makes us appreciate when we can take a break.
Serenity
The prompt for this week’s photo blog was serenity. This is a photograph that I took on a walk in the evening––there’s something about the lighting and the calm of the water that makes this photograph feel serene.
#NoFilter
This week we had no limits on what to shoot, it just had to be unfiltered. This is a photo I took of my dad taking a photo –– pretty meta.
Anonymous
I think it’s interesting how street art can have such a presence in a community –– even when the artists are often anonymous.
Trash
Although this isn’t traditional “trash”, I took inspiration from the idea of trash; something unwanted or overlooked. Telephone poles and wires have always ruined landscapes and views in my opinion, but for this photo, I chose to take a picture highlighting the interesting patterns and repetition of telephone poles that I rarely take the time to notice.
Black and White
This week’s prompt was to take a black and white photograph. For this picture, I thought that the black and white really brought out the texture in the rocks and in the water by placing emphasis on highlights and shadows. I also feel like the black and white adds to the quality of the photograph being cold and wet.
Weight
This week’s prompt was to take a picture inspired by the idea of weight or mass. For this picture, I stacked and photographed three rocks. I struggled to come up with an idea for this prompt, so I went with a twist on my first thought: “Rocks are heavy”. It was definitely a battle against the idea of weight to take this picture since the weight of the rocks would not balance. After many tries, I was able to balance the weight of the rocks to get them to stack as seen in the picture.
