Innovation! I decided to create a paper-maché can that is labeled “Canned Kindness” Wouldn't it be innovative if we had a drink that would be like a passion, and when people drank it, it would make them be kind. As I believe that that is what we need in the world.
The can is showing that kindness can be shared with others. I decided to do this because I wanted to show that no matter how old or young you are you can spread love to others. The picture shows that kindness and love can be spread among different cultures and races and at the same time learned to embrace and love each other for who they are.

When you are hungry and can't find a bowl, make one out of a cantaloupe. Put ice cream and whipped cream in it, and some toppings with the scooped out cantaloupe on top. It is delicious.

Over the summer, my family and I went on a vacation to Catalina island. While we were there, I took advantage of the beautiful landscapes by taking many photos to highlight how the island has changed over the many years. In this specific photo, the natural water juxtaposes the man-made building, touching upon the effect of mankind on natural landscapes. This relates to innovation, as it shows how over time, humans have innovated upon the natural land to create everything we know and are familiar with today, including this historic building in the photo. Also, the building itself is an example of innovation, as the use of the building has changed many times over the course of its existence. While we were there this summer, its purpose was as a grand movie theater.

For this year's theme “innovation” I focused on the sport of disc golf because disc design has evolved a lot since the start of the sport in the 1970s. For instance, disc design in the early days of the sport had blunt nosed slower flying discs and over time they evolved into fast distance drivers that can be thrown farther distances. I took this photo during my school’s art class,and I edited the photo in Procreate to have a color fade from the old disc with no color, to the new disc with vibrant colors to show development. Overall, this photo shows innovation and advancement within the sport of disc golf.

As the world changes, things are bound to evolve. The growth of transportation, electronics, and buildings could be an innovation. This elevator is an example because it needs a key for you to have access to it, while people that aren't employees or people that don't have the keys can't ride it. It shows how we keep advancing and how the world keeps changing.

This photo was taken in the dressing room of a ballet competition. I took this using my phone because professional cameras were not allowed backstage. I took a live photo and then changed the live photo setting to long exposure to show motion through the photo. The blurs and motion show the chaos that happens backstage during performances. As a part of the audience, viewers only see the final result of the dance, but they don't take into account what happens backstage, and how ballet may not be as beautiful as they once thought. This photo is an example of the expectation vs. reality of ballet.

On a drive near the airport, we were given a chance of a lifetime to see a plane so close I felt as if I could touch it! While it flew over our car, I took a quick picture of it and was in awe. To me the airplane represents innovations because the invention of planes shrunk the world. The new development of technology has made it possible for newer generations to come together and create ideas beyond their imagination by flying across the world. The old has gone, and the new has come. We are a new creation.

These photographs were taken around the city of Claremont, the top two are power lines near the hillside and the two below are of the downtown area. The images have been edited and given a black and white contrast to them. This image is meant to show innovation by showing how everything around us is connected. The wires from the more empty hillside where these huge structures of human innovation disrupt the local bright environment taking power to the city. The contrast allows for the bright objects to stand out such as the lights of the city, and the bright hillside compared to the human made power lines.

This photo was taken at a construction site under the pathway on the sidewalk. It relates to innovation because it captures the dynamics between people and the creation of new buildings in a city. This relationship is caused by the invention of an establishment that brings people together.

This photo is about a cool, customized car traveling off-road, trying to find its place in this world as it is smaller and struggles to do things more than "normal-sized" cars. This shows that shouldn't judge a book by its cover at times, because no matter how much you envy someone for reasons like looking cool, you never know how much they may struggle and feel out of place.
