Detail

The detail photo I took was of the chapel which I also took a architectural picture of. I chose to capture the detail of the roof pointing to the sky because I got the feeling of a chapel as being one's way of being closer with God. This detail not only captures this theme, but also it emphasizes the chapel's symmetrical structure.

Chapel 2

This photo was taken at a chapel near my house. When I walked into the chapel, I really noticed how the whole room was symmetrical. Being interested by this, I tried to find the best way to capture this mirror-like image which I saw in my head.

Chapel

This is a picture of a light hanging in the Mater Dolorosa church in South San Francisco. This assignment was to take an architectural type picture of a chapel and I thought that this like exemplified this. Not only did the like reflect the chapel's design (wood-like design, stained glass) it also brought a warm feel to the mass that was going on (yellow light).

Color Landscape

This is a panoramic picture that I took of a few houses on my block. I merged about 5 or 6 pictures in Photoshop in order to create this image. This was my first panorama and therefore, I was not aware that my picture would have unwanted lines and also I was not so conscious during my photographing that I needed to be very careful about how the houses would line up when I edited them. In order to improve this shot, I would capture more of the sky and use a tripod.

Photo Essay

These pictures are a collection of pictures which makes up my photo essay. The topic of this "essay" was a day in the life of a 9 year old. I used my brother as my main subject and followed him throughout a period of time, capturing the essence of what it is to be a child of his age.
