We were at the beach with my friends and family. We brought my dog who loves to play catch the ball, and we played that for a long time. I took this picture when she was really tired after playing the game.

I took this photo during a winter break day camp. When I saw the three children playing together I thought that it is always more fun when you do things together. That is why my photograph relates to "Participate" and them doing an activity together.

This photo was taken at Akaka Falls near Hilo, Hawaii. Participate, to me, is physically taking time to do something that matters, whether it is hiking, bike riding, swimming, etc. In this picture, the subject is pointing at an exotic tree while on a hike. He is taking time to show his wife the tree while exercising.

I took this picture at the beginning of my junior year. I had this idea for a photoshoot where we would all dress up in gowns and heels to simply ruin them throughout the shoot. I didn't know entirely what the plan would be or how I would execute it, but I knew it was a concept I wanted to explore. The day before my best friend, Paige (pictured), and I had planned to shoot, I experienced my first break up. We still shot the next day despite the pain I was in. Upon reflection, the day we shot, and the photoshoot itself, means a lot to me because it was the first time I really used photography as a form of escapism. I learned to channel my pain into my art and it has given me my most efficient coping mechanism since. Now, in regards to my photo, I had my best friend Paige lie down in grass, jump in the pool, hike in 90 degree weather in heels, all to get the pictures I wanted. She went through hell and back to help me not only with this concept, but through my breakup. Nothing screams participation more to me than a willing best friend.

The person in the photo was walking by, and the light attracted me by the way it covered him. It inspired me to take the photo.

My picture has to do with participate because she is participating in standing outside in the rain to pose and take pictures. I had to take this picture at a lower angle (worms eye view) to show the rain on the road better and so it is more noticeable. If she wasn’t participating I wouldn't have been able to get this shot.
The word is participate. Participate means to take part in something or to share in something. You participate in many things during the day. You go to school or work and participate in doing things. For example, say you're at school and you're playing a sport in P.E. You are participating in playing that sport. Or say you’re at work and you are participating in your job that you have to do. There are so many more things that you can participate in during a day.

Some people choose to sit on the sidelines and watch. Some people choose to participate. This picture was taken earlier this year at a concert given by Rock and Roll Legends, KISS! The two guys in front of me, were having the time of their lives, and wholehearted gave as strong of a performance as Paul Stanley! Their enthusiasm and participation made the KISS concert experience that much better!!! This photo was shot on an iPhone.

I took this photograph at City Hall in Downtown Los Angeles on the first day of the LAUSD teacher strike. It was pouring rain, but still thousands of supporters came from all over the city to march for the rights of teachers and students.This photograph relates to the theme "Participate" because the woman in the photo is an educator participating in protesting for the good of her union.

To me, the shoe shows the biggest part of participation. It was not supposed to be in my photograph, but it made a big contribution.

This photo was taken on a field trip at the Canon facility, it was during our lunch break, and I decided to take a quick photo of my friend through the window. Throughout this field trip we had to volunteer ourselves sometimes as a model and listen to the photographer ,and that's exactly what happened here, I knocked on the window and told my friend to prepare himself for a photo so he put his food down and gave a gloomy glare. I wish I didn't capture as much glare as I did but as a amature photographer I believe it's a great photo all together.
