The Unknown
This is a picture of my gecko Kevin. I was taking his picture for the shadow prompt in my photography class. I used my sisters' flashlight and a blank wall to get risp shadows of him.
Morning for Elephant Mountain
I took this photo on my daily hike up the mountains and hills of Point Reyes. It embodies what I enjoy about this area; fog, hills, forests, and beautiful skies.
Footprints in the Sand 2
Footprints in the Sand is a small group of photographs that talk about our imprint on the ocean and the beaches. The beach is a safe haven for me and I want to protect the beaches so other people later on can have the same experiences as me. I hope that these photographs help people see how easily the land is influenced by our imprint on the environment.
Magnificent Moth
This is a moth on a flower that I saw while on a hike. It was taken using a macro reverse ring.
The Transformation of Jesus
Contrary to what you might see in a Western church or an art gallery, Jesus was not white. He was a brown-skinned, Middle Eastern Jew. In our society, its clear representation and diversity matter very much and can be very powerful tools to help others. This applies for media, much more a prophet. Portraying Jesus as he truly looked, might help subside the anti-Semitic, and xenophobic views some alleged Christians have. Continuing to imagine Jesus as white, when he was undeniably not, is by definition, racist, as it promotes the notion that a particular race is superior to another.
Self Portrait
This is a self portrait from a selfie I took while on a walk with a friend before the pandemic. It represents a moment where I felt very happy, and brings back good memories.
Dragon Piece
I made a painting using acrylic paint to make a dragon and I also used silver leaf as the dragons scales.
Childish Gambino
Childish Gambino is a charcoal portrait I did of the artist Childish Gambino/Donald Glover.
