I wanted to take a picture of a unique texture, so I found a tree and took a picture of the bark.

Capture the moment, the iconic sound of a "swish" as the ball makes it in. While the sound is common, to capture the sound in an image that lives eternally is another matter. The main aim of my piece is to capture the feeling of an afternoon with friends, shooting hoops.

Just a photo of my dad.

This photograph was for a project in a photography class. It was taken in Morgan Hill. I utilized shallow depth of field.

My artwork was created on the way home in San Francisco after watching the SF giants play, my first time fully watching baseball ever. This picture is taken right next to the beach, facing the cars, and beautiful lights and buidlings of San Francisco at night. I put the camera on a long stone bench so that it would be able to stabalize and not moving when taking this picture. I pointed it to the streets to have the stunnng bright scenery with the tall buildings and a nice landscape,. My friend then helped me draw out a person in the middle of the picture with a flashlight by tracing my position for around half a minute. The low position of the camera makes the picture able to digest all of the details from the groud up of the big city. The amoung of lights at this position also complement and help positively luminate the groud and picture itself.

An observation of texture and the amount of delicacy and tranquility seen in this specific piece. My attempt of being able to truly encompass and display the elegance and beauty hidden in the details of something so ordinary is highlighted in the contrast and black-and-white envisionment.

this is a photo of one of my favorite animals. I have volunteered at the Oakland zoo for 3 years now and only vary recently really got to know Alotta. But she has verry quickly found a place in my heart. Shes very excited to see me and will fly across the enclosure when she hears my voice where she will want to hang out and chat with me. WHile ive only really known her for a few months its crazzy to me how quickly ive become very attached to her. Her outgoing and freindly nature make her very personable which is what i was trying to capture in this photo. She is a joy to photograph always staying still when i try to take a photo of her or striking a pose. I have always loved animals but very few animals are quite as photogenic as her. it is an amazing feeling being recognized by such a unique animal and alotta is no different.

I have been attending my friend's show at his family-owned circus for years. While they present the same thing at every show, as I grew up, I began viewing their performance from a more artistic point of view. I captured this photograph at the beginning of the show, moments before she climbed the rope. Given that I knew the show by heart, I knew which moments would make an unforgettable photograph for my friend and his family.

This was part of a personal project called "Views from my window", I would take multiple shots from my apartment window in the Zhong Shan district of Taipei, Taiwan.

As the day went on I was struggling to find the perfect place to take my photo. I had been driving around for some time trying to find a location that I liked. When the sun set I went down to the bulb and the sunset was exactly what I wanted. I walked around looking for an angle I liked. Once I found the right spot I took multiple photos. This one stood out to me the most as the colors of the ocean and sky are deep and colorful. I decided to shoot from behind a small shrub because I liked how it split up the scene and gave the photo more depth.

I was inspired by the skyline of SF and wanted to have a photo that captures the mystique of SF. By having my subject on a swing, it looks like she is flying over SF.

I've been dancing at the same studio for 12 years. This photo is of my dance teacher for the past 6 years. She and my dance family mean a lot to me.

I had taken a camera home from school and was hanging out with my family when I noticed that the sunset was a beautiful color, one which I had never seen before. I paused what I was doing and rushed to my apartment window to capture with my camera what I was seeing with my eyes. It is still one of the most memorable photos I have ever taken and one which will stick with me for a very long time.

I wanted to capture a picture of a living organism. I found this spider sitting in a bush in the Berkeley Rose Garden. A lot of people are scared of spiders so i portrayed the spider as bigger than it actually is.

This is an olden 1800s boat in the harbor next to golden gate bridge and symbolizes an old generation of boats.

Dimension: 2636 × 3028 pixels, Description: This photo was taken during one of our last football games where the opposing team scored the last minute game winning touchdown. Once I looked around at the team, everyone's hope of winning shut down. This photo has so much power in it because we can see both players on the same team are in a depressed position. The player that is farthest is seen to be injured and depressed because he cannot do anything to help them win. The closest player shows the emotion of exhaustion and depression because he knows that whatever he does in the game changes no outcome.

This was taken on a great day with my cousins. It was a Friday in the county fair having a great time with my cousin. I brought my camera to capture memories and to see if I can get a good photo. Having a great time and taking a step back from all of my unnecessary thought of stress went all away as I was in the moment the whole day truly enjoying the night, seeing friends and eating good food. Seeing people every year change as we meet up again in the fair is something that surprises me every time. It makes me think about how every year is a another year we grow older and more mature, just the thought that everyone’s life moves so quickly and that we all have our own thing going on really made me think and appreciate the things around me. It made me feel that we had so much time to joke around and have fun as kids, but also made me think about all the time I have as an adult. I felt as if I had all the time in the world, but at the same time I felt that there was not enough time. That is why I called it “So Young, So Little Time”. The spinning of the ride and the people around us are all young living life the way the way it is, and hopefully living it to its fullest because you might blink & it’s gone.

Taken on the roof of my home on a quiet evening.

This photo is a beautiful representation of lighting up the dark. To tack this photo my model and I stode in complete darkness with fairy lights. The fairy light created the rings of light, but it took along time to expose the photo. Looking back on this photo I relize the great metaphor that this shows. It tells us that there is always light even in the darkest times. Even when it feels like you can’t see were you are going there is always light to lead the way.
