For my first project, I wanted to explore the world close to me. This included the plants and creek near my house, and a few spots on the CSUSM campus. I tried to take these pictures at various times of the day this past weekend, like just after waking up or right before the sun set. And I was able to experience photography during different types of weather -the aesthetic of rain is fun to work with, but a wet camera is not! I tried to get a lot of nature shots of plants and new perspectives no one would think of, like the drainage tunnel by my house. Nature was my main focus, but I tried to take a picture of anything that peaked my interest, such as the bright orange soap sitting in our kitchen. I was not able to get pictures of individuals at this time, so things that did not move were my subjects. These photos were taken not only for this project, but to test my own skills with a camera and capture interesting moments that might be overlooked.
