My cousins were visiting from Minnesota. We went on a sightseeing tour by the bay at Seaport Village. We checked out some ships so I could show them what SD was all about. This relates to the theme of adventure. My nephew was excited to see the water and was pointing in the distance.

My picture was taken in 2023 at Disneyland. It shows my adventures while I walk underneath the castle to the other side to explore Disney. Being at Disney is everyone's wish come true, it's where happiness is, especially mine. Exploring Disney, going on rides, trying different foods and walking around to see the beauty of Disney is such an adventure for me.

A photo of my dog, Trixi, and my brother's dog, Speedy, going and playing at the beach for the first time. On our trip to Mexico, our dogs had their very own adventure through the beaches and streets of San Quintin, Baja California. This photos shows that our furry companions also feel excitement on the adventures we take.

I took this picture from the balcony of my hotel room. My family and I took a little “staycation” over the weekend. My photo relates to adventure because the location of the main object in my photo is located in California Adventure. Another thing is that it is a roller coaster and it is supposed to be fun like an adventure. Finally, my photo relates to adventure because the title of my picture is “Far From Fun.” It relates to the theme because it seems like I am longing for adventure because I am so far away from having fun.

The photo was taken in Phuket, Thailand in 2023. This picture describes "adventure" because this was the first time going to Phuket. The snorkeling goggles show the experience of me watching the sea animals.

I was in my room and discovered some old paints in a drawer. I saw an old shoebox and I decided to just block off my thoughts and begin to paint. I was experimenting to create a unique type of photo I had never taken before. I let the brush flow and as I mixed multiple paints with my brush I saw it coming together. I wanted to get a unique picture of the paint while it was still wet. I think the "flow" represents people's lives as they venture into new experiences. I purposefully left the end of the blue flow up to interpretation. I did this because we only know where we have been and where we are going now. We have no idea what adventures the future holds for us.

I took this photo out the window on a plane while coming back to California from the Philippines. Adventure could be in every house that is shown. I was experiencing adventure myself - on a plane.

This photo was taken at my school track during track and field practice. While I was photographing the athletes, I recognized that the sport was an outlet from the stressful school environment. Athletes doing the poll vault event were constantly raising the poll and trying to reach new limits. The excitement and their ability to push their limits exposed a new type of adventure that many athletes find excitement in. Although stress and academics pester students, they are able to go on new adventures of trying new sports and finding what they were passionate about.

This photo was taken on Lake La Belle in Wisconsin. This is a dad and his kid having a crazy amount of fun flying over waves. The dad was worried at first, but he did it to be with his son and ended up having fun. This fits well with this year's theme of "Adventure" because the dad did something he wasn’t sure about because his son said it would be a fun new adventure they could do together. So to bond with his son he did it, and they experienced a fun new adventure together. What’s more adventurous then going 20 mph at waves, not knowing what’s going to happen and all you can do it hold on and enjoy the ride.

My class went on a hike. I really liked this photo because of the clouds and the view of nature. It was my favorite because it shows friends hiking in the background and a view of the wilderness.

My first day in Thailand I looked over the busy night traffic from a skybridge. Taking in the colors of the neon lights I decided to take a photo to capture my surroundings. I found myself in awe, the colors were so vibrant and gave off a cyberpunk vibe. This captures my first look on a foreign country and how there was so much to take in.
