Work

Window at a cabin
Cabin Window

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

Nature on a walk

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.

Trash

Telephone Poles

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

Stacked Rocks

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.
