Low Angles

For the low angles prompt, I decided to take a photo of my dog. A lot of the times, I sit on the floor doing work while he sits on my bed. Or sometimes he likes to stare at me from the top of the stairs. So, I…

Elements: Earth

For the elements prompt, I photographed some of the rocks, fossils, and crystals I have on my bookshelf. I thought the variety properly represented the element of Earth as a whole, from plain rocks, to preserved fossils and shiny crystals. It was fun to rearrange my collection to…
