This photo was taken at school during a marching band practice. Contrary to common opinion, marching band is actually a very rigorous activity. Members must march in unison to a beat with heavy equipment, all while playing difficult rhythms and pieces. Marching band members stay late out at night, stay just as long or sometimes even longer than other conventional sports teams. Marching band members are passionate about their art, and practice constantly to make their performance as flawless as possible. Here, I tried to emphasize the amount of skill, strength, and precision marching band takes, by exaggerating movement through the use of blur, while still showing the neat lines they form during their practice.

This bird was dropped by a hawk accidentally as it was feeding up on top of a tree in my backyard. The bird was freshly killed when it escaped the grasp of the hawk. Later in the day, when I came back to my yard, the hawk had ripped opened the bird's cavity and fed off of it. The organs were gone and the neck was picked at. Even though the fate of this bird perhaps would be considered terrifying, in the end, it provided nourishment for a hawk which in turn made it possible for it to continue living.

This photo was taken on the beach. I carry my watercolor palette and brush everywhere I go so I can participate in life by capturing what I find in my artwork.

I took the photo in Chinatown when I went with my family on the Saturday after Chinese New Year to celebrate the holiday. Many people gather around and watch the annual parade.

Our school gathers to speak our weekly prayer that can vary from the usual weekly prayer to very major prayer that is needed to be heard by all the people in the room. The photo was taken in our school hallway where we have our rainy day morning prayer. The photo relates to the theme “Participate” because our school gathers as one to participate in our daily prayer and salutation to the flag. Judges, this photo, I thought, was the best because our school gathers as one to hear one another speak about what is going on at our school. Our fellow students should know about our school’s weekly prayer and salutation ways.

In this image my goal was to capture an image that represented the participation theme through the action of community service. Community service is able to be showcased in numerous ways, however, I chose to use the action of picking up trash. In my mood board, I focused on the color scheme of greens and blues. In this image I was able to capture the sunset and its natural pink vibrance. I decided to surround my editing style around the color of the sunset. Therefore, I increased the exposure and saturation levels.

This photo was taken inside a church youth group during worship. The subject was standing towards the stage and raising his arms toward the worship leader that was singing. The person in this photo is participating in an environment that is unfamiliar, and therefore creating new opportunities for himself. The setting created a sense of hospitality, and participation immediately became simple. In my mind, participation is the key to unlocking new things and experiences such as that shown in this photo.

This photo was taken outside, right in front of my house. It was very cold yet my mom and grandmother were outside looking at the sky. They were looking around and just spending time together in each other's presence. I had gone outside to see what they were doing and I saw that they were holding hands. I had asked what they were doing and they responded with, “spending time together.” They were showing participation by taking part in spending time with each other. They might not have been doing much of anything, but they were happy to be able to spend time with each other. They were taking part in spending time in each other’s lives. My photo isn’t much of anything and it is very simplistic. Though it may not seem like much, this photograph is showing a daughter spending time with her mother.

Participate is to take part in something or to get involved. The way this photo shows participation is by my cousins having their hands in. It shows that they are all taking part in a group activity. This photo was taken in my grandma's front yard.
Participating is important because you have to use it in your everyday life. To be in sports you must participate in the activity obviously or else they wouldn’t want you to play with them. At games players huddle together before a game and put their hands in to show that they all are going to put effort when they play.

This image was taken in the mountains where my older brother lives. I thought, while I was up there, that it was my chance to create the perfect image to relate to this year's theme, so that I could fill your eyes up with much delight just like how my little sister is in my photo. This relates to this year's theme because basically whenever someone takes place in any photo or anything at all it’s “participating”. So I thought it was my chance to just try it out.
