This is me, Shayla Santos. I took all of the photos below in the past year. This blog is for my wonderfully awesome teacher Mr. Moore :) I love youuuuuuuuu!

Beach Shadows

This picture was taken at Hampton beach when I was with my sister, and those are our two shadows. I love how dark this photo is, it almost makes it look like a night shot. But the crashing wave also adds a good element to the image too.

Lamp

This photo was taken on the front of my house right next to the front door. I didn't realize it at first but there is actually the reflection of the trees in my yard in the glass of the lamp. This picture has components of shadow and line along with shape.

Wheelbarrow

This picture was taken in my neighbors yard between our driveways. It has elements of shape and shadow in it. She always takes this wheelbarrow without asking us so I took this picture partially to prove that she steals it from us, and afterwards i locked it up in our shed. Our neighbor is crazy.

Boat in the Bay

I took this photo on the beach on Lieutenant Island in Welfleet, MA. We have a Cape house on the island and the beach is absolutely gorgeous. I always go back to using this picture for projects because it is so compositionally beautiful. The picture always makes me think of the Cape and how I basically grew up on that beach. It is my favorite place.

Out of Context

This photo was also from my out of context project. It is in my yard in the green apple tree we have right before it started budding for spring. carly likes this photo because "the tree looks like it has arms!" and I like it because the teapot stands out so well compared to the things around it. I loved this picture immediately after I took it.

I added this picture not because it is compositionally strong, but because it is just really cute.

Enjoy.
