Anonymous

<Interpret it how you want> For this assignment, the first thought I had was scultptures- I think the idea of the human form cast in stone is interesting becuase we can view the physicality of that person and through the scene, understand the artist intention-but we never get to hear them or of course interact …

Trash

<Trash is the inspiration> The instructions for this assignment were to go out and photograph trash. As I thought out different ideas of concepts that I could use, I happened to be changing my insulin pump. Being a Type 1 Diabetic and having the disease for most of my life, I rarely have to think …

We started walking from the Richmond District down to Ocean Beach and over to Sutro Baths, a historic landmark …

Landscape symmetry

<Emphasize visual symmetry in landscape photography> The inspiration for this gallery was to highlight artificial, man-made symmetry forced into landscapes. I choose to photograph 16th-17th century gardens as a visual representation of this.
