Show moreShe was sitting in the best position for a portrait photo although she kept moving her head. I wanted to get much close, but knew that I was unable. I learned that when taking photos of animals you must take more than one picture because they move when you don't want them too. This was beautiful!

Show moreThis clayboard artwork features an image of my sophomore year biology lab partner's hands working a microscope. Lab days were my favorite days because we were able to use the microscopes. It always fascinated me that humans were able to create such a tool that can look into the cells of plants or analyze the blood stream of fish. By using a clayboard to create my work, I was able to analyze the microscope which in turn was analyzing a slide. Honors Biology with Mrs. Horvath was the first very challenging class I took in high school. She pushed us to work hard and drilled into us the difference between learning and memorization. Mrs. Horvath managed to draw us into the interesting side of biology. "Bio with Horvath" was created to recall those times and remind me and my classmates of those passionate lectures about ATP.

Show moreI wasn't just taking random pictures, I actually used my resources. It was fairly easy and a lot of fun trying to dodge the bees. It took about five tries to get the one I actually wanted. I had to position the camera vertically, bend down and move in close, to capture the angle that I wanted. The only thing that was difficult for me were the bees flying around me. It made it very uncomfortable to capture the picture I wanted, yet easy, too.

Show moreI was looking for life and I spotted the butterfly on the flower. The hardest part was making sure I could get in close and capture great detail without scaring the butterfly away. The successful part of taking this photo was not only did I capture the butterfly but I captured it drinking from the flower.

Show moreThis is my life story, my fingerprint that I am leaving on this world. It is about who I am and the facts about my life. Everyone's fingerprint is different and in some cases, people have different print patterns on each finger. Everyone is an individual and has their own unique story.

Show moreAs my fingerprint identifies who I am, so does the story embedded within it. As I wrote my story, it brought back memories of me when I was younger. The image of me that I found in my gallery really reflects who I am and what I really look like. I made it black and white and more abstract so it will work well with the fingerprint. Even though the picture is blurry, you can still see me and my smile. It makes me feel like in life, that I stand out in the crowd. The picture is unique just like my fingerprint. One of a kind!

Show moreNotice the pattern of the leaves in the kaleidoscope. The leaves had a pink outer color and then it turned yellow inside, which I thought would be nice. Looking at the original image compared to this one, they look nothing alike but the color of the leaves is still present.
