Some of my Best Photos

I decided to add this page because I wanted to show off some things I've loved doing while at DVS. I love taking photos of things. Two things I love are noticing things and documenting things. So it's perfect I have such an easy way of taking photos right in my pocket. I also got a more "proper" camera for my 18th birthday, a handful of these photos are taken on there. Noticing things is great. Whenever I realize I haven't been noticing things much and return to putting effort into it, I'm always cheered up in the process. There's always something good to be found whether it's a pretty cloud (I love clouds), people hugging on the street, or just a smiley face someone drew on a wall. I can't always get a photo of things that happen quickly (I'm still working on the skill of being ready to whip out my phone or camera at a moments notice) so the things I usually take photos of are slower and stiller. I enjoy taking photos of places people used to be. I think you can learn a lot about people from how they leave places. I love looking back at photos too. When I visited Zambia I had a lot of fun at my grandmas looking through all the old photo albums, and it inspired me to start one of my own. Turns out its super cheap to print photos at Walgreens. I hope someday my photo albums will be found at the bottom of a dusty box and flipped through by people shouting back and forth from different rooms about who was a cute baby and where was this one taken and how so and so was at this birthday party.

(the photos may be slow to load, sorry about that)

This is one of the first photos I ever took, I was probably 5 or 6. We were at a restaurant and my mom had brought the camera. I took this when I realized there was no one to take one of both of them together.

This one was from back in 2020, I took it for an online photography class. I remember enjoying trying to get the angle just right.
