When you think of a tool what do you think of? A hammer, a saw, maybe a screwdriver - well I’m pretty sure you don’t think about a wrench. The wrench is one of the most useful and important tools in modern society. Without this single tool we would not be driving cars with combustion engines, and we wouldn’t be using appliances like gas powered stoves. The point is that the wrench might be a little more boring than a hammer or a little less popular than the screwdriver, but when it comes down to it, it has changed the world, and it has paved the path to a future I am sure no one imagined.

While walking along the dark streets of San Francisco, I was in front of intricate statues and came across a rather odd one. As I went under it, I saw the most beautiful design using humble pieces such as boards and nails. This mesmerizing structure made me feel as if I had escaped the world I was in at the time. After chaotic incidents such as COVID-19, the Russian-Ukrainian War, and more, it seems as if the world is spiraling downward. However, the escape that this structure offered me gave me motivation and the will to face the world today.

I believe this photograph shows innovation in many different ways. FIrst, the evolution of music, how it is recorded, distributed and shared has become so advanced in the last 10 years. Without this innovation, music would not be the same.
It also shows innovation in the way people record images and remember events like this. The first thing people do is take out their phone, post it on social media or share it with friends. I really like that this photo shows three different cell phones in the frame but they are all showing a slightly different moment in time from this night. There is also a photographer using a DSLR to take photographs of the same event.
The thing that truly amazes me about photography is how much innovation has been made in such a short amount of time. In the past 10 years cell phone cameras have evolved from taking barely 2 megapixel photographs to well over 30 megapixel photographs, which is better than most DSLR cameras that are on the market these days.

I brought an old camera to school and borrowed my teacher's newer camera. My photo relates to innovation because it shows the new and the old cameras, and how much they have changed and evolved over time.

We have lived in a society that has set a standard of beauty for far too long. For years, the media has given their unnecessary input on how a women should look. This has created a body image that has impacted many women negatively. To show how these comments have impacted women negatively, I compiled a bunch of real labels and words made in the media towards how a woman looks. I then projected these words onto a young woman. She stands in front of these remarks, showing how women today are taking a stand against these negative remarks. Women of today are innovating and changing the way beauty is seen because we are all beautiful.

When I took my photo, I was in a dark room with a dark background. When I looked up the definitions of innovation it said, "The introduction of something new." So, my photo relates to this year's theme "Innovation" because even when we’re in a dark place, we always look for something new. Even though it might take a while and be hidden in the comfort of that dark place, there will always be that light of opportunities and ideas within you, that you will be able to find.
