This picture was taken of my uncle as we were finishing ice climbing in Catskill, New York. I knew that where we were going was going to be beautiful, and I wanted to get photographs so I brought my camera. I took photos though out the day, but after on his final down climb, right when it started to get dark, I saw the light from his headlight acting like a spot light on him, and decided to take a photo. This picture is important to me because doing outdoor adventures with my family is a tradition for us, and this was my first time going ice climbing. Taking this photo was meaningful to me because it allows me to share the feeling of ice climbing after dark in a forest, and being surrounded by the magnificent icefalls.

To me, creativity means being able to capture a moment or feeling that is important to me, and translating that into the photograph. I think that creativity can also be giving meaning to things, and expressing that meaning though one’s artwork.
