This is the photo I took and chose to be my Gallery photo. I like it because, first off, it was a pretty good motion picture but at the same time I feel it captures how skating teenagers feel about the rules against their beloved sport; portrayed by the anti-skateboarding sign in the background. Unfortunately, my Advanced Photo teacher did not see it fit to allow my picture in the gallery 2 days before it opened, even when, regardless of a “deadline” which is a concept I understand nonetheless, there was clearly plenty of time for me to do the work myself and put it in a frame. I don’t really mind, however, I still think it’s a decent picture.

This is my self-portrait. I chose it because I believe it relates to how I feel at this point in my life, tied down. Sometimes I feel like I can’t make my own decisions yet, that my hands are tied. I also like it because it shows me somewhat isolated from the rest of the room, and my facial expression makes it seem like i’ve been captured and i’m being held against my will.

My friends and I like to defy gravity from time to time.

This is a picture of my friend max jumping off of one of the buildings of our school, he landed on the ramada.
