I took this picture in Nuuanu valley during a photoshoot for my photography class. This picture is special to me because it captures the nature and beauty around my school. The reason why I choose to attend this school is because of it's beautiful and peaceful landscapes that often help me relax and pause to enjoy life even during my most stressful moments of school. This relates to the theme of Nature because it highlights nature's natural beauty by highlighting the tree's texture and colors.

I love tasting everything I can find my hands on these days. Found out that I could put my toes in my mouth today!

I went for a trip and on the way through the nature I met a wooden view-tower. My best animal friend was following me all the way but when I started to climb the stairs she stopped and sat down realising that it is too steep and high for her to go up. As if she was saying, I can't go further but I will wait for you. Or maybe she was happy she can rest for a while:) I made this picture to remember the precious little moment. And the day I'm submitting this photo is special, it is her 10th birthday:) Strá~ný vrch u Merboltic, Czech Republic Shot on film Kodak Portra 160

The General - he's become quite popular on my photo assignments. Actually, he's become more popular than my other photos without him! I always get asked.... "Great landscape! But where's The General!" I love this shot because it really displays how regal he is - his personality. High up, looking out as if he has accomplished something mighty. This was taken at Convict Lake, not far from Mammoth area in CA.

Because it stopped me first thing in the morning and made me take a breath I may not have taken on my own. I happened to just glance over on a bridge I travel on my way to work over the Savannah River and pulled over. It has nature written all over it. Morning sun, morning mist...

This picture was taken with an photo journalistic approach. The moment could not have been taken at a more perfect time. The sun was just about to set, creating a lens flare that adds ideal geometry. I took this when I went on a trip to Poland to visit my family. This exact location was in the Krakow Main Square. It relates to the theme because a small girl is feeding pigeons while four boys watch.

I LOVE the Brooklyn Bridge. I also happen to love the NY Waterway ferries. They are ever-present on the waterways of NY. It's like seeing a taxi on the street, except it's on the water. I got the opportunity to photograph both at the same time when I took a sightseeing boat around Manhattan. It was my favorite part of the tour!

I captured my girlfriend at 35 weeks pregnant on Kodak Tri-X film. We were making a silhoute photo to put on the birth announcement card and while this is not the picture to end up on the final product, it's probably my favorite picture of her during pregnancy.

It was my first time playing with these setting on my camera.
I always see great pictures of the Manhattan Beach pier. I felt like I was finally able to come up with something that I felt was really nice, and also a little different from the pictures I normally see.

Soon after my brother was promoted to Captain in the Marine Corps, he brought our family to the beach to watch the sunset. Little did we know, he proceeded with an unexpected proposal to the love of his life. There wasn't a dry eye in sight. Cheers to Daulton and Kat.

The simplest toy is not the sprinkler, it's the Grandma taking the picture! At least that is what my Grandson seems to be saying to me, while having fun in the water with his two older brothers. I really loved that I was able to capture his humor with the water coming up around his face. Just another fun day in Fort Wayne, Indiana!

Spectacular views of Bergen, Norway, the surrounding fjord and mountain landscape can be seen from the top of Mt.Floyen. The top of the mountain can be reached by funicular, one of Bergen's best known attractions. Using my fisheye lens and a Nikon D90, I photographed wide angle views with a hemispherical effect. I knew I captured that unique image when I included the red colored funicular in the foreground of my picture.
