For the music prompt this month, I knew that photographing my guitar would fit perfectly. I learned to play the guitar thanks to Freestyle Academy. For a music recording project last year, my friend taught me to play so we could play a song together. My parents helped…

For a small vs. large photo this month, I juxtaposed a small and a large penguin together. One is a penguin figurine, a little bigger than an inch tall, and the other is a penguin plush about a foot and a half tall. I thought it would be…

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…

This month, I went out and took some photos of water outside after it rained. One of my favorites was this small weed in a pot that I once tried planting flowers in. They never grew, but a few weeds did. I liked how this photograph turned out…

I didn’t quite grasp the prompt of “weight or mass” in the prompt this month at first. But after several attempts, I think I got a fairly decent outcome. The larger, bright flower is placed more centered than the smaller flower, and contrasts more with the background of…
