5. Post the pictures on your blog describe how you used two of the topics to express your feelings.

The first picture was taken by the park near an ocean. I used an angle that captured most of the ocean. This picture represents happiness which is how I felt the first couple months of quarantine. During this pandemic I grew connections with others and made new connections with others. Some of us were far yet so close. This brought me joy and I didn’t feel alone during a time like this.

The second photo was taken inside my house on a rainy day. I used a tilted angle to capture the raindrops on the window. I used contrast to pop out the raindrops more and make the picture a bit more darker. This represents stress and lost connections. This was taken exactly to represent my mood last month. With school coming up and classes were all over the place and with only one friend to talk too felt stressing. Therefore, this photo captured my feeling these last few months.

My last photo was taken last week inside my house. In this photo I made sure the subject was clear by using a closer angle. I zoomed into my dog sleeping and made him stand out and be the subject. This represents peace and balance for this month. It means accepting anything that has caused me stress and letting it go. It means living the good moments with the people who truly care about me, my best friend, family, and the love from my dogs.
