Current Affairs of a Rohingya refugee (Muslim minority in Burma). His expression is great and the light on his eyes and the spots on his face make for a great portrait.

Great motion shot that Treat got of me while I was laughing. The big shape coming off of the right side of my face is actually my ear as I moved closer to the camera.

I actually like this picture after looking at it for a bit. There's a lot of stuff going on and some interesting lines from the dead grass.

Five finals taken for my Self Project. My idea turned out really great, the lighting worked well. Thank you Treat Shepardson and Patrick McMenamin for the help.

The two pictures from my first attempt at my Self Project that I thought were passable. The rest turned out semi-blurry because I had to use manual focus and I couldn't focus in on myself because I was in the photo.

Our final photo from our scavenger hunt on Star Wars.

Interesting photo  of a foggy mountain in Japan.

This is some cool street art that I found as I was running across an intersection in DC.
