An in-depth look at some of my favorite photos I've taken

My Favorite Photos

Photography is something I enjoy very much, and I enjoy sharing my photography with people, so here is some of the photography I have taken recently.

This photo was taken in my backyard back home. I love looking at star photography, so I decided to try it out. It took a few nights, but I eventually got it, and one night I got this picture. That streak of light on the trees is actually from the headlights of a car driving by!




I enjoy getting unusual perspectives or doing other unusual things to get cool photos. This photo of the chapel is one example of this. I walked to the middle of the quad, got on my stomach, and zoomed in so that I could get the out-of-focus grass in the foreground, because I knew it would add a lot to the photo.



Leading lines are another favorite photo technique of mine. They lead your eyes into the photo and provide some very interesting detail. I enjoy this photo because the shelves provide a cool leading effect, and the colors are pretty cool.


This photo was fun. I took it one day while walking around campus taking pictures, but when I went to edit it, it didn’t look at all interesting, so I decided to mess around and try some crazy things. I ended up making it pretty surreal looking, and I think that this version is quite a bit more interesting than the original.

I enjoy photography very much and have appreciated the way I have been able to develop it and share it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
