"When I saw a video of a girl playing the Kalimba, I was immediately in love with the look and the sound. The sound just brought me a sort of strange nostalgia because it sounds kind of like a music box when it's played. After that, I decided I wanted my one so my brother gave it to me for Christmas. I'm always looking for hobbies that are unique and set me apart from everyone else, and playing Kalimba certainly does that."

"I just liked the combination of red and the green. I was fooling around, taking photos with this lens and other lenses like this and this one photo just popped right out. It looked good to my eyes."

"When I was on the floor I noticed this, even though I use it everyday."

"I was sitting by the piano and decided to make a picture out of something I see all the time."

"I took it as an example of how the news is trying to scare us by telling people how store shelves are empty. Trying to put this fear in people to gain views, but in this photo it shows that stores have no problem keeping food on the shelves, and they are working with the CDC to keep people safe."

"It attracted my eye. The bright color made me want to take the picture. Since then I have taken a few more photos. I really like the way they came out."

"The first picture is a real jellyfish. It’s a dead jellyfish inside glass, and my family got it from a craft show. I took this picture because I thought tentacles of the jellyfish looked cool. Also, when I put it in front of a window it created more color and lines. This picture can be interpreted into something else because Mr. M thought it looked like tadpoles swimming. This is one of my favorite pictures."

"The second picture is part of my living room rug. There are starfishes on the rug, and I liked how the texture of the rug looked in the picture. I took this picture because the project was on what was in our daily life. So, I thought why not the floor because we walk all over it every single day. Also, I edited the photo a little to bring out the color."

"They are the curtains in my room. I just saw they way the light shined through them, and thoughts it looked pretty, so I wanted to capture it."

"It was part of the assignment, to take pictures of everyday items, but to look at them in a different way."

"I was outside and I saw how the sun was reflecting the water. It's one of the dog pools my mom bought to give them baths."

"I took this picture as I was going on a trail with my family. I thought it looked cool, and I just loved how the light came through on some parts of the grass. When I was coming home I looked at it, and it kind of reminded me of a setting in my favorite movie, 'Call Me By Your Name'."

"I just got a new phone, so I was testing out the camera. I took a few photos of my dog sleeping because she looked really warm and comfortable."

"I was finishing up my schoolwork for the week. I was about to submit all my photos, but I felt like I needed one more. I thought that it would look cool."

"I loved the framing on the pot. The plant has been sitting on my deck for years and I only realized it during this photo project."

"I took this because we had just received the cookies and I thought they described the week perfectly. These cookies looked amazing."

"I thought it was beautiful and reflected very nicely. My mom and I painted the design on our window for the Easter Season."

"During quarantine I've been eating a lot of clementines. They are my go to snack."

"I really liked they way they looked. They hang right next to my bed so I'm constantly looking at them."

"I've never been a big reader but ever since quarantine, I've been able to read every night, and I've actually started to enjoy it."

"I was going for a run because that's one of the few things I can do in quarantine, and I saw a frog, a reminder that life flourishes even in times like these."

"The leaf stood out to me because there was no others like it around, and because it was right in front of a beautiful sunset."

"I took this picture because I liked the repetition and the leading lines. I thought it would look cool if I took the picture from closer angle."

"This is the inside of a grandfather clock. I took the picture because I wanted to show the inner workings of the clock."

"I took this image because they looked perfect in an imperfect world. It showed beauty that we sometimes miss in nature when we are stuck inside all day."

"The rain was coming to an end when I saw the uneven puddle in the rocks. I liked how it reminded me to look for the small things."

"During quarantine I've decided to work my way through a recipe book and made that bread. The picture was kind of a 'moment of truth' thing because it was my first time cutting it."

"I saw how it [the sun] shone through the grass and then decided to take a close up of some of it. It wasn't really a picture I planned, just something I noticed and wanted to look closer at and draw more focus to."

"I recently bought my first car, and I was super excited to make it look pretty. So I did some online shopping and ordered a key chain. I decided to go with this chain because I think it represents my personality because I like to be happy and have a positive attitude. Yellow is also my favorite color!"

"I saw it and it caught my eye. You can take a picture of something in nature and it still can be really pretty. This picture shows me that even things that are out in the ordinary can be beautiful too. It's inside of a flower (a tulip) and it shows the parts inside of it. It was actually raining out so it was pretty cool to take."

"I thought it looked cool, and because it was one of the first decorations my parents got when they moved in."

"Blinds with the light coming through. I got inspiration from Mr. M's photos that he showed us. I really liked how it had contrast between light and dark and brings depth to the photo."

"I got this idea by remembering some photos I had seen before. This photo was actually kind of hard to take because I had to flip my phone upside down, try different lighting and focus on different parts of the photo. I think it turned out pretty cool."

"A decoration my mom has in our house. The photo shows the texture of the object by focusing on one part of the photo. I thought it was really cool how I got it to focus on one side of the object so it shows dimension."
