I was on a family trip to Waikiki, Hawaii over the winter break of 2022-2023 and captured an image of two brothers playing in the sand just before the water. They decided to bury one of the brothers and add a back board for added comfort, using the boogie board. I thought this image fit the theme of innovation because it shows the creativity a young child has, and how the imagination could be used to benefit yourself and others, while even making laying in the sand comfortable.

One day, we saw all the bottles on the street that are just thrown in the landfills every day. We thought about it, and we wanted to do something good for the environment. So we looked for a bottle, and then we found a sticker, light with batteries, and a bracelet to make something new from the bottle.

I took this photo while walking through a garden, and the different light fixtures were mesmerizing. The light fixtures display this year's theme of innovation because it shows beauty within technology. We've advanced as a society where simple things such as light can become a piece of art.

Without Innovation, humans would not be as advanced as we are today. New ideas and creativity lead to great things being created and used in the world. Electricity was one of the best inventions in history and forever changed life for people. Without it, people would not be able to fly around the world or communicate with people who live thousands of miles away.

This picture was taken in Las Vegas during December. The lights and buildings really show the innovation and imagination behind them.

This is a photo of the inside of a green Coca-Cola bottle. I had gotten several different angles and shots of the bottle, but this one was my personal favorite for how disconnected it is from the original form. I did this entirely at my desk, using my phone light and a small lamp light to control the reflections. My photo is innovative in how simple it is. The concept of light bouncing off and diffusing onto surfaces offers limitless possibilities for shots, human emotions can be attached to the different ways a surface or object can be lit. My photo is but one of these millions of possibilities, and in that same sense, my photo is unique amongst all of those alternative shots that I could have done. There's a beauty to the process of shooting and all of the factors that goes into it, and I enjoy exploring the possibilities of how my photo can turn out before and after my shutter closes.

To create my finial photo I used two different photos. Both the photos I used were taken at my school, one at night and the other in mid day. The back ground photo was taken at night of steel wool being set on fire, which created the illusion of the car going through time and teleporting through to the future. Finally, I took a picture of a car in my school's parking lot, which I layered over the steel wool photo. I changed the original colors of the car and of the steel wool to cool tones. I added a flicker of light in one of the rings.
When I first heard that the theme of this years competition was "innovation" I immediately thought of flying cars and teleportation. A future with flying cars seems amazing! So I went with this idea, create a photo that tells what could be in store for our future. I believe the judges should know that my photo is futuristic and stands out from other teleportation photographs.
Buckle Up! The Future Awaits

The BeeHome is a special house for bees with a robot inside that takes care of them. The robot works in the rain or sunshine and can be controlled from far away. It helps the bees stay healthy and happy. I think it's really cool!

A camera is innovation because in the old days there was no camera. If people see something beautiful, they couldn't take a photo of it.

The photo was taken in the art room of our school. It relates to this year's contest theme, "Innovation", because this photo shows the process of innovation by me changing the camera into a pin hole camera and experimenting by taking photos with it.
